1909 Brescia meeting
The 1909 Brescia meeting program was available at avia-it.com, but is still available at Internet Archive. It's a 10 Mb pdf file, so it takes a long time to load.

New forum: Updates!
I decided to create a separate forum to keep track of the updates on the main website. Instead of editing and updating a single "latest updates" post I will create a new topic in that forum for every change. I hope this will be easier to follow and will encourage feedback.
