Six years after the Wright Brothers took flight, U.S. Army medical officers Captain George Gosman and Lieutenant A. L. Rhoades used their own money to design and build the world's first airplane ambulance in 1909. For #FlightFriday, we are featuring photographs of Gosman and Rhoades with their monoplane (Image 1) and the 1910 trial flight that took place in Ft. Barrancas, Florida (Image 2) from 'History of the Airplane Ambulance.' This work was compiled around 1922 by the U.S. Army Air Service, a forerunner of the U.S. Air Force.

Researchers from the History Department at Virginia Tech used the NLM collections to study reporting around mortality rates in Mexico City during the 1980 flu epidemic. In the latest post from the Circulating Now blog, they discuss their findings on the response of health experts and media outlets.

Ahoy! There's a #ChonkyBook up ahead for #ManuscriptMonday. Measuring five inches wide, 'Prescriptions for the Physician's Patients' is a British naval medical log for June 1-30, 1791. Recordings inside includes the ship's name, time of entry, person's name, quality, disorder, medicines, and diet.

This #19thCentury advertisement for Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil features a toy boat about to be cat-sized by a cute kitten. The #PatentMedicine was sold as a cure-all for a variety of ailments including toothache, earache, backache, and coughs.

For today's #ArchivesHashtagParty, we dove into the #ArchivesUnderTheSea to share a reproduction of the painting "The Submarine Appendectomy," a depiction of an emergency operation performed by Pharmacist's Mate Wheeler B. Lipes aboard the USS Seadragon in September 1942 to save the life of his fellow crewman.

Join us next week to welcome Randall Sell, ScD of Drexel University for the next #NLMHistTalk, "'We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it': Struggles and Stories to Be Heard for Today and Tomorrow." Read an interview with Dr. Sell this week in the latest post from the Circulating Now blog to learn more about his research and upcoming talk (🔗 Link in Bio).
