Illustrated front cover from The Queenslander, August 16, 1928

from State Library of Queensland

  • cogito ergo imago said:
    Does "No. 1 Issue" mean what it says? - that this was the inaugural edition?
  • State Library of Queensland said:
    Hi cogito ergo imago This wasn't the inaugural edition of "The Queenslander - Illustrated weekly" but I'll see what I can find out about the "No. 1 issue" label on the illustration.
  • State Library of Queensland said:
    Hi cogito ergo imago So far, we have not been able to find out anything about the "No. 1 issue" label on the illustration. If we do uncover any useful information, I will post it here.
  • cogito ergo imago said:
    Thanks, don't go to any trouble, I was just curious in the face of evidence that there were earlier issues. Perhaps the word "issue" meant "magazine" at the time and it was just a bit of self-promotion?

'India Office Official Record of the Great War'. - caption: 'The eyes of the army - Sopwith Camels ready for a patrol over the German lines. View of aircraft and pilot. 1915.'

from British Library

  • Andy Kemp said:
    Despite the printed caption, these are Sopwith 7F1 Snipes, not Camels. The unit marking is 43 Sqn RAF.
  • Michael Day said:
    The National Army Museum copy of this photograph (Accession No. NAM. 2001-02-256-68) has the following caption: "This image depicts a Sopwith Snipe of 43 Squadron, Royal Air Fore [sic], with Lieutenant E. Mulcair standing in front. This squadron, based at at Fienvillers in France, was one of the first to be equipped with the new fighter, which replaced its Sopwith Camels in August 1918." Link: collection.nam.ac.uk/detail.php?acc=2001-02-256-68 Lieutenant Edward Mulcair was born at Montreal on the 21 May 1896, and joined the Royal Flying Corps Canada at Toronto on the 1 October 1917 (AIR 79/1371, Airmen's Service Records 1912-1939).

    Judge Quintin D. Corley of Dallas, Texas, born 21 January 1884. Lost both hands and his right arm in a railroad accident in 1905. He invented the hook for his arm, patented 1912, with which he could drive his automobile, including crank starting it. With various other prosthesis of his own invention, he was reported able to write with pencil, pen, or typewriter. This photo was published (cropped) on page 540 of "Popular Science Monthly" volume 88, 1916 with the caption "Judge Corley can run his automobile alone, and does it because he likes to." The Quentin D. Corley Academy in Dallas is named after him.

    He looks like a mannequin. I wonder how long he had to sit still for the exposure. I didn't think that hat style was around so early (it's very 1940s-looking).

    I started a Wikipedia entry for him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quentin_Durward_Corley

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Disability History, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
