Additional Description

General note

This scrapbook appears to have been the property of S. W. Hiscocks, whose name is stamped in gold on the outside of the book. Hiscocks was an early pioneer of aeronautical designs, including balloons, although he quickly moved onto airplane design. A brief bio of Hiscocks taken from the May 1942 issue of "Aircraft Production, is included in this folder.
