Octave Chanute Octave Chanute (1832-1910), born in France, was a naturalized American. He was a talented and highly-successful civil engineer. Chanute designed the first bridge (railroad) over the Missouri River and designed the Union stockyards in Chicago and Kansas City. Following his early retirement, Chanute took up a never-ending campaign to champion the invention of the airplane. He acted as a tireless publicist, collecting information from all corners of the globe and sending out information to all askers. Of particular import, his long correspondence with Louis Mouillard. Further, the interest of a prominent engineer in matters of aviation lent a considerable respectability to the nascent field. In 1894, Chanute published a compendium of early aviation experiments, Progress in Flying Machines that was widely read and respected. In 1896, Chanute became an even more active participant, commissioning several craft in 1896 which were contsructed in William Avery's shop. Chanute's favorite was the Katydid,

American Aerospace Pioneers Octave Alexander Chanute Although he never flew, Octave Chanute spent much of his life spurring others to do so. Born in Paris and coming to the United States as a child, Chanute became an outstanding civil engineer and respected writer who lent his talents to furthering human transportation. He spent time as a consulting engineer for the railroad industry, but later gained international fame in the study of aeronautics. He published Progress in Flying Machines in New York in 1894, which summarized and thoroughly analyzed the technical accomplishments of the world's aviation pioneers up to that time. The book became a classic and a guidebook for the efforts of many would-be aviators around the world, including the Wright brothers. After the Wright Flyer flew in 1903, Chanute gave lectures in Paris in which he showed photographs of the Flyer in action. His lectures inspired many Europeans to engage in an international rivalry in aircraft design. Return to Pioneers of American Aviation Return to the Hill Aerospace Museum Homepage

HERRING'S FIRST FLIGHT Email reply from Steve Spicer, (2-1-01) Author of Wings Off The Dunes. Don't overlook Augustus Herring with your "other pioneers". He was a strange one, but there are several people that claim he flew before the Wright brothers. He did make a 'flight' up in St. Joseph, Michigan, but for a lot of reasons nothing ever came of it. I've always felt that the biplane glider that he and Chanute developed here was Herring's idea all along. He and Chanute argued that point in years subsequent, but Herring, along with Avery, did most of the flying and testing. Butusov was the other character in the cast of characters down here on the beach!

Chapman Library Mural Octave Chanute (1832-1910) was the founder of Chanute, Kansas. Octave Chanute was born in Paris, came to the U.S. as a child, and made his living building railroads. He constructed half a dozen railroads in the Midwest and developed the process still in use to preserve railroad ties by treating them with creosote. Between 1890 and 1910 he was probably the world's most influential aviation authority. He advised the Wright Brothers. His picture appeared on a 21-cent U.S. postage stamp.
