William Ashley Kelly & Milton Arthur Kelly
Collection of Susan Brown, 8-21-04
Ralph:
I have been reading the Aeronautical Society of New York document
on your website. My great-grandfather was Wm A Kelly, mentioned in this document. It is the only documentation I've found of his
interest in aviation, although I grew up hearing stories. Therefore, I am very interested in the rest of this document.
I could send you scanned files of an original advertisement for the Wright Flyer B (1909) that I
have from my great-grandfather. I believe the Aeronautic Society of New York probably looked into buying one and that would be how
he got a copy. Interestingly, he was a patent attorney. I have wondered how much he knew or had to do with the patent suit by the
Wright Brothers against Glenn Curtiss over the Golden Flier? The Smithsonian has two copies of this
document as well, but they aren't online anywhere else that I've found.
