Reminiscences of a Birdman - Life and Times of Earle Ovington, Aviator and Inventor.

Robert Campbell is the talented author of this remarkable book. The intriguing array of photographs in the book makes the entire story come alive as you progress along Ovington's impressive contributions to mankind---- he really made a difference during his life time! Of particular note is chapter thirteen that pertains to the Griffith Observatory's million-volt Tesla Coil which Ovington donated to the Observatory in 1936/1937. A replica coil rated at 1.5 million-volts and is on permanent exhibit at Mid-America Science Museum, Hot Springs, Arkansas. It has earned the Guinness World Record as being the most powerful conical coil on earth!

Mr. Campbell will be lecturing about his book on June 28th at the Mid-America Science Museum, and at the Dallas Electric Club on June 29th. Please visit the websites for additional information:
