This site is really a treasure house of information for the aviation enthusiast and others. I found it while doing a Google search for Frank Van Anden. The link returned was to Chapter XVII of an online book entitled Flying Machines: Construction and Operation by W.J. Jackman and Thos. H. Russell. The entire chapter, and in fact the entire book, has been digitized and is available online for us to read. What a wonderful service! According to the information on the Home Page, there are more than 1,500 books online. I heartily recommend this site to your attention. You may access the page which refers to Frank by clicking on: Van Anden. From there you can go to the Home Page to learn more about the collection. |
