His mother, Henrietta Grace Smyth, was the third wife of Rev. Baden Powell (the previous two having died), and was a gifted musician and artist. He wrote, "In savage isles and settled lands. Malaysia, Australasia and Polynesia, 1888-1891", published in 1892 by R.Bentley and Son, London.〔https://archive.org/details/insavageislesan03badegoog〕 Baden-Powell was a military aviation pioneer and a Fellow and later President of the Royal Aeronautical Society and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. He was one of the first to see the use of aviation in a military context.〔https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=cbrA5NJp2JMC&pg=RA1-PA185&lpg=RA1-PA185&dq=Kite+%22Baden+Baden-Powell%22&source=bl&ots=kNtMfMlgLj&sig=T7lu91bS5rB_gtFK_XHwT34Dx7U&hl=en&sa=X&ei=AD9uVefcNOyz7gbqi4CYCA&ved=0CDwQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=Kite%20%22Baden%20Baden-Powell%22&f=false〕〔"The Tatler" No. 107, 15 July 1903, page 85〕 He also wrote, "BALLOONING AS A SPORT", published in 1907 by William Blackwood and Sons〔http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BALLOONING-AS-A-SPORT-Baden-Powell-Major-B-/121056070971?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c2f810d3b〕 He built his first balloons and planes with his elder sister Agnes. He invented a man-carrying kite system which he called the ''Levitor''.〔Pelham, D.; ''The Penguin Book of Kites'', Penguin 1976〕 He also developed a collapsible military bicycle.〔http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1901-MILITARY-CYCLING-MAJOR-BADEN-POWELLS-COLLAPSIBLE-BICYCLE-/321445110312?pt=Antiquarian_Books_UK&hash=item4ad79f2228〕 He was in the Relief Column that relieved the siege of Mafeking, where his elder brother was in command. He contributed to the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition entry on 'kite-flying'.〔https://archive.org/stream/encyclopaediabri15chisrich#page/vi/mode/2up page 'iv' and page 840〕 ==Scouting== Baden-Powell was the first who brought flying-based activities into Scouting,〔http://scoutguidehistoricalsociety.com/airscouts.htm〕 in the form of kite and model aeroplane building. He can be considered the founder of Air Scouting〔http://scoutguidehistoricalsociety.com/airscouts.htm〕 even though he thought it was hardly feasible to have special 'Air Scouts'.〔(Baden Baden-Powell in Scouter July, 1932)"...it has been suggested that Air Scouts should be organised in the same way as Sea Scouts. "Though the air is 'ever with us', access to aerodromes is not common and though Sea Scouts can mess about 'in any old boat', a Scout is unlikely to be able to get access to an aeroplane, and even if he did he would not be able to fly it. ...it seems hardly feasible to have special 'Air Scouts', yet a great deal may be accomplished by troops specialising in air-work... I shall always be pleased to give what advice I can."〕 Baden-Powell was President and later District Commissioner of a North London District, was District Commissioner of Sevenoaks District, Kent between 1918 and 1935, and was Headquarters Commissioner for Aviation from 1923, until his death in 1937. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baden Baden-Powell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
