Turin 1911 International Exhibition

From Inventing aviation
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The 1911 International Exhibition in Turin was apparently a World's Fair.[1]

It ran from April 29th to November 19th, 1911.[2][3]

It probably included the aviation-focused week described elsewhere: Publication 4184, 1907, L'esposizione Internazionale Aeronautica di Torino nel 1911 e la Coppa per dirigibili di S. M. il Re d'ltalia and Society Aviation of Turin, which went from 25-31 October of that year. However we could use a sentence to cite that confirms that; they might have been separate.

Domini (2019, Appendix A) has count of exhibits of different types and can compare the number of Aviation exhibits to other kinds.[2] Here is the line about aviation, leaving out other categories:
