Scope and Content

From the Collection:

As stated this collection provides only partial evidence of Christopher J. Lake's aeronautical work. However, the photographs documenting his 1909 flying machine are outstanding. There is also a significant letter from Orville Wright to Lake in 1925 discussing the relationship between the Lake family and the Wright family. The families were related through the Reeder family, distant relatives of Milton Wright, Orville's father. For more information about this connection see MS 1 Box 14 File 10.
