This Scrapbook prepared by Ron Howard as a child in his time in Australia. Ron Howard later in his life was appointed Assistant General Manager of Elliott Flight Automation in 1962 and Joint General Manager in 1965, responsible for Control Systems, and had seven Divisions reporting to him.
Elected to the Board of Elliott Flight Automation in 1966, he became Managing Director in 1987 and Chairman in 1989.
The book uses an old scrapbook dated 1907 called 'Reading for the Young' and contains newspaper cuttings of early flights through WWII.
