Forgotten Aviation Pioneer: California's Own John J. Montgomery (militarymuseum.org)
"In 1905, Montgomery demonstrated his famous "tandem-wing" glider at Santa Clara, California in front of hundreds of onlookers by having pilot Daniel Maloney drop it from a hot air balloon at an unheard of 3,000 foot altitude, and gliding it to safety to the earth below."
This is a good little book.
I think it gives an insider's view of who, how, why..and when........THE AIRPLANE, SPENSER - Pilot Outfitters
