AERONAUTICA - 'PUSS MOTH' LOG BOOK OF LT.-COMMANDER GEOFFREY RODD Two finely presented log books relating to the De Havilland aircraft D.H. 80A Puss Moth and its playboy adventurer owner Lt. Geoffrey Rodd, together approximately 680 pages, detailing all flights (departure/arrival locations, list of crew/passengers, incidents), numerous additional photographs, press cuttings, ephemera, etc relating to Rodd, Puss Moth and their adventures pasted in, contemporary blue morocco by Truslove & Hanson of Sloane Street, gilt lettered 'G-AAYB. Journey Log Book. Vol. 1[-2] July, 1930 to July, 1931 [-To]' on upper covers, oblong 4to (190 x 240mm.), July 1930-July 1931[-1933] Footnotes: 'COMMANDER GEOFFREY RODD'S AEROPLANE AND EXPERT SERVICES AS A PILOT ARE IN MUCH REQUEST BY THE FAIR SEX' - the flight log books (enlivened with photographs, press cuttings and ephemera) of a playboy pilot's De Havilland aircraft Puss Moth, from the time of his learning to fly under the tutelage of ace pilot Maxwell Hutcheon Findlay, to flights with celebrated female pilots Amy Johnson and Peggy Salaman, aerial filming for the cinema, lending his plane to collect Hollywood actress Gloria Swanson from Paris, and his tragic death, aged only thirty-two, crashing during take-off from the glamorous holiday resort of St. Moritz. Born in Australia, Rodd (1901-1933) served in the Royal Navy during the First World War, then aboard the Royal Yacht. As evidenced from these evocative albums his trajectory from amateur pilot on the waterlogged airfields of Sussex and Kent, to success in competitions, blind flying with Amy Johnson, immersion in the world of celebrities and film stars, and airfields of glitzy Biarritz over a period of under two years was astonishing. His early flights were taken in the company of his teacher at Hanworth Aerodrome, Scottish flying ace Maxwell Hutcheon Findlay (including one resulting in an official report to the Accidents Investigation Committee concerning the 'Meopham Accident', 25 Sept. 1930); flights with associates from his naval days followed, including Admiral of the Fleet Reginald Tyrwhitt (who wrote that the flight 'had entirely changed my ideas as regards travelling by air!'); increasingly confident he was soon piloting successfully at the King's Cup with Peggy Salaman (a letter signed by Peggy to Rodd after her return to England having flown from Lympe in Kent to Cape Town, November 1931 is tipped-in). Other notable notices include a report relating to a dangerous driving charge against Rodd at Blackheath (he admitted guilt); a letter of chastisement from the Chief Constable of the Hastings Police for distributing handbills (relating to the 'Navy Week at Chatham', a copy of which tipped-in) from his aeroplane (15 Aug. 1930); correspondence with the Air Ministry concerning an 'Alleged flight over prohibited area' (14 Oct. 1930) with Rodd's reply admitting the offence and apologising for his late reply due 'to a serious accident in starting 'G-AAYB' involving amputation of my right thumb' [31 Oct. 'engine back fired and propeller cut off my right thumb at top joint... fainted a couple of times', but flown back by Max Findlay]; forced landings including one due to 'stick jambing... a nut which must have caused this' (Oct. 23 1930), and 'Smoke Bomb ignited in its release box in cabin: pretty nearly choked'; 'Shoreham aerodrome flooded, but landed in field alongside' (24 Jan. 1931), piloting Vice-Admiral Snagge to the Epsom Derby; achieving the fastest time ('982.5 miles at 127.56 m.p.h.') at the Kings Cup Air Race, 24 Aug. 1931, with pasted in letters and newspaper reports on the race ('... The lady pilots fared badly, as was to be expected'); 'Night landings by Bentley's headlights' at Hanworth, 31 Oct. 1931 (several newspaper reports show images of Rodd with his chauffer John Camp, who also acted on occasions as his co-pilot); 'House Party's flight in moonlight' at Lord Willougby de Broke's aerodrome at Kineton, '12000ft. taking cinema over the clouds' (8 Apr. 1932, beside a newspaper cutting reporting on actor John Loder telling Rodd a story about Gary Cooper); 19 Apr. 1932 'For Gloria Swanson' [flight from Lymphe to Paris and return, piloted by Maxwell Findlay], '...couldn't get permission to fly under Clifton Suspension Bridge. Flew over' (9 June 1932); August 1932 extensive public displays including at Burnham, and filming at Brooklands for the film 'The King's Cup'; 19 August starts a 'Blind Flying Course' (and includes aerial photo of 'The Rude Man of Cerne Abbas'); On 28 August flies to Le Toquet with Amy Johnson (during which time his £3000 car is stolen from Park Lane, and used 'in Wandsworth smash-and-grab raid'), and on the 31st takes her 'Night flying. Aerobatics'; aerial holiday to Biarritz (newspaper reporting that he 'has been offered £200 for one portion alone of his Biarritz film...'); 'Practice blind flying in clouds', flights to Cannes, Geneva, the Alps, and on 10 January 1933 landing on frozen lake at St. Moritz, where later in the month he was killed during a failed take off from the same lake.

SHAW (GEORGE BERNARD) and HAYDEN CHURCHArchive of correspondence, interviews and other material assembled by journalist Charles Hayden Church (1878-1956) during a long association with George Bernard Shaw over some twenty years, comprising:i) Articles and questionnaires, typed by Church and annotated with responses and extensive manuscript amendments by Shaw, giving his opinion on a wide variety of topics such as sex education in schools ('...Sex should not be discussed with children, either by parents or school teachers...'), his vegetarianism ('...I eat cheese, butter and eggs but no flesh, no fowl and no fish... I object to a carnivorous diet not only because I feel instinctively that it is abominable but because it involves a prodigious slavery of men to animals...'), prohibition in the US ('...It may be that life is so miserable in America that people cannot bear it without drugging themselves with alcohol...'), the economic future of England ('...If the Big Ship [Civilisation] goes down, England will go down with it...'), women's success in previously male preserves ('...Why shouldn't they? Miss Johnson did not fly to Australia: a machine did; and she hung on to it and steered it... several women had babies yesterday without any help from a machine. Prove to me that a man has achieved that amazing and arduous feat...'), on longevity ('...we die because we do not know how to live, and kill ourselves by lethal habits...'), suggesting future political programmes ('...I am not God Almighty disguised as GBS... I am advising women to demand the Coupled vote – One Couple One Vote...

I can not forsee what will happen...'), his 91st birthday ('...Birthday! Get out. Go. The man who ever utters the word Birthday in my presence is no friend of mine... Good afternoon. Don't come again...'), an amusing account of faking a séance ('...An evening of miracles followed... After that experience I could not discuss the subject with Oliver Lodge grieving for his lost son, nor with the infatuated author of Sherlock Holmes...'), on the partition of Palestine ('...The Jews and Arabs, backed by local Home Rulers and Imperialists, must fight it out until they are tired of bloodshed and financially bankrupt...'), writing ('...A slosher using ready made phrases and ideas and never stopping to think can write several thousand words a day... I can write the dialogue of a long play easily within two months if I stick at it... the stage business is pure drudgery...'), on Shakespeare ('...a volcano from whom plays burst like lava. I am by comparison a tidy old maid...'), inspiration ('...I can sit down without an idea in my head except that I must write a play; and a play comes. A good play too...'), and much else; with a typed article signed and dated ('G. Bernard Shaw/ 19 May 1933') explaining that his initial sympathies with the Nazi movement were soon expelled by Hitler's 'insanity' over the 'Jewish question': '...an epidemic of a very malignant disease... I appeal to Herr Hitler and Captain Goering to bear in mind that Judophobia is not a part of Fascism, but an incomprehensible excrescence on it... May I add that I am not a Jew? I belong to that still naively anti-Jewish nation, the Irish. The Irish do not know that Jesus Christ was a Jew.

Pardon the hint...'), his play On the Rocks ('...Provisionally you may call it Piffle...'), death ('...I am a member of the Cremation Society... earth burial should be made illegal. As to my ashes I do not care what becomes of them provided they are inseparably mixed with those of my wife...'), Napoleons inability to procreate ('...Something was too short and the seminal jet did not reach the effective place...'), on Elizabeth II ('...constitutional monarchy is one of the professions for which women are specially fitted...'), etc.; with six autograph envelopes, c.30 pages, 4to and 8vo, Ayot St Lawrence, Whitehall Court, SW1 and Malvern Hotel, Malvern, and elsewhere, [11 September 1930 to 4 August 1950 where dated]iii) Group of nine photographs taken by George Bernard Shaw, all but one annotated on reverse by Shaw in ink or pencil ('Ayot St Lawrence/ Shaw's Villa/ called Shaw's Corner', 'Jehanne la Pucelle/ watching for English soldiers/statue by Claire/ Winston', 'Shaw's mulberry tree/ There is another in Malvern but this is his home one', 'Shaw's favourite statue/ of Shakespeare/ 15' high/ bought by him in Frinton/ for twenty three/ shillings'), each with a typed caption by Church attached, 83 x 135mm. and smaller, [no date]iv) Album of press cuttings kept by Hayden Church ('Property of Hayden Church/ Liberal reward to finder'), including letters from John Galsworthy and George Moore, c.48 leaves, red cloth titled 'Scraps' on front board, worn and stained, binding loose, folio (282 x 225mm.), [1913-1917]; with additional loose cuttings of his articles on Shaw from Sunday Despatch, New York Times Magazine, Evening Standard etc., [1929-1947]; and a photograph of Hayden Church and his wife on camels in Egypt at the press opening to Tutankhamun's tomb, 1923; group of articles, writings and press cuttings relating to Church's other work such as 'The Real Annie Oakley' and 'The Strange Case of Dr Minor'; with a copy of George Bernard Shaw: Eight Interviews by Hayden Church selected by Edward Connery Lathem, The Perpetua Press, 2002, limited edition of 500 copies.v) The Plays of Bernard Shaw, 12 vol., inscribed beneath portrait frontispiece in Saint Joan 'G.
