Frank Buchanan (early aviation content)
Anyone know anything about him? From the little I can find, it appears that he was a fairly big player in the development of aviation as we know it today. I stumbled across one of his scrapbooks, full of pictures of him (with planes, generals, and dignitaries) and it has really piqued my curiosity.

He was part of the "Golden Age" of aviation. Well worth saving. Hope you can scan it and post some of the pics here.

No scanner, but I'll take some photos of it all and post them up. Lots of pictures, some old war-time anti-nazi cartoons, newspaper clippings, reference letters and even the telegraph he received informing him of his father's death. It's kinda sad that the family thought so little of this that they pretty much threw it out.
