HARE, JAMES H. 1856-1946. Two Photos of the Wright trials at Fort Myer in 1908. Two gelatin silver print photographs, 5 x 7 inches and 4-1/2 x 5 inches, mounted and matted, depicting the Wright flyer airborne at Fort Myer, Virginia in 1908, and the crowd rushing to the scene of Orville's crash. English-born photojournalist James H. (Jimmy) Hare became perhaps the most prolific photographer for Collier's Weekly after photographing the events of the Spanish American War. He photographed the Wright brothers flights at Kill Devil Hills in 1908, and again at Fort Myer that year. After documenting five wars and numerous historical events in the early 20th century, he retired in 1929.
