Memoirs in the form of watercolor drawings
In 1969, Fred Washington, a dealer in used furniture, bought from a junkman twelve large notebooks that he found in the attic of his house under a layer of dusty carpets. In the same year Rice University student Mary Jane Victor in those notebooks was discovered an amazing collection of weird looking collages and watercolors that belonged to a certain Charles Delshau.
Notebook pages filled more than two and a half thousand drawings of aircraft and mysterious newspaper clippings. Mary immediately told about this to her artistic director Dominica de Menil. He bought four and a half thousand dollars notebooks and organized an exhibition at the university, which gave the name “Flight”. This is how the work of the Prussian immigrant Charles Delschau, who was once a grumbling butcher during his lifetime, was by chance discovered almost half a century after the death of the author (1923).

UFO researcher and art critic Pete Navarro, having heard in 1969 year about the exhibition “Flight”, was delighted. The scientist believed that there is a direct connection between the images in the Delschau notebook and huge mysterious “airship”, which was seen at the turn of the century residents of eighteen US states.
In 1972, Pete Navarro learned that the remaining eight notebooks Delschau still lie in the junk shop, not claimed by anyone. Researcher bought notebooks for $ 565 and the following spent fifteen years trying to figure out the works of Delschau.

The Wright brothers will only make their first flight in 1903, many years after Delschau painted men in a strange clothes that controlled unprecedented airships and helicopters called “Aero Trump”, “Aero Mary”, “Aero Jourdan ‘equipped with retractable chassis. Surprisingly what about the existence of the “Sonora Aero Club” is still no information other than that presented in Delschau’s notebooks.
From the memoirs of Delschau it became known that the club’s secret mission was the design and construction of the first on earth aerial ships using a secret formula called “NB Gas “and which allowed to defeat gravity.

Grouchy seer
Unfortunately, despite many years of rigorous research, Pete Navarro was never able to determine whether all of the above is true Delshau, though, on the other hand, such an original way “old man’s entertainment” was hardly possible thanks to only one his ardent fantasy. Either it’s all true, or the grouchy butcher was a real visionary.
