“My Heart’s in the Aeroplane” was published in 1911, some eight years after the Wright Brothers made their first flight. The subtitle, “The Latest Air Ship Love Song Success”, implies that this new topic was a popular one. The sheet music cover shows two men flying a fragile airplane, watched from below by a couple in a car. The setting, with its lake, cedar tree, and snow-capped mountains, resembles the Pacific Northwest.
The book and theme are by Frank Killgore, and Pearl Laycock wrote the lyrics for piano. The publishers were located in Puyallup, Washington.
