A partial, handwritten English translation of Die Flugbewegung der Vögel von Karl Milla mit 27 Abbildungen (Leipzig & Wien: Franz Deuticke, 1895) in one notebook, as well as a copy of the German original, both belonging to the estate of Octave Chanute (1832-1910). It is possible that Chanute was the translator. Translated parts of the book are the preface by the author, pages 1-22 on “The Horizontal Rowing Flight of Birds,” and pages 83-91 on “The Directing (Steering).”
