Sir Alan Cobham was a pioneering British aviator who made record-breaking long-distance flights in the 1920s and became a popular public figure. Columbia 9161 is a spoken-word recording in which Cobham describes how to fly an aeroplane — a remarkable document of the early aviation age and of the celebrity spoken-word market of the period.
