Description: | British Empire aviator's certificate (pilot's licence) number 19 granted to A E George on September 6th 1910. The figure 1 has been cut out of the number to make it appear to be licence number 9 (licence 9 had been given to Samuel F Cody on June 7th 1910). In a newspaper article in 1935, A E George claimed to have held licence number 9 (see object history file). Cody was the first man to fly a plane in Britain, George was the second Englishman to fly in England. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.science&industry.508520 | Go to resource |
