[AVIATION -- WORLD WAR I EDUCATION]. VOLPE, Chief Carpenter Aviation Anthony Michael (Compiler).
A remarkable souvenir album documenting the Naval Aviation Training School in Great Lakes IL which trained thousands of US Navy Marine and US Army Air Force pilots and aircraft mechanical specialists during and after World War I.
Great Lakes Chicago & Waukegan IL: Naval Aviation Training School L. Blakemore Isaack Wallenstein & Western Photo Studio Photographers ca. 1919-1921. Oblong atlas folio. 21.5 x 9 in. 43 leaves unnumbered. on thick black paper stock. With 52 original silver gelatin photos tipped-in sized from 5 x 7 in. up to 19 x 8 in. 36 panoramas sized from 18 x 3 in. up to 19 x 18 in. some w/ photographer’s imprint w/in negative at lower fore-edge some captioned all tipped-in. Contemporary Spruce plywood post-binder covers same as wood used for spars and biplane bodies in World War I rounded corners piano hinge front joint gilt decorative lettering & logo on front cover minor scuffing shelfwear still VG exemplar. This outstanding souvenir album depicts the height of the vital Naval Aviation Training School which provided essential technical expertise and training to entire generations of Naval Aviators and Naval aviation mechanics and carpenters through World War I and beyond. Founded originally in 1904 when a board appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt selected two farms of north of Lake Bluff IL as a training station which originally covered 172 acres. By Armistice Day at the end of World War I the facility had expanded to 1200 acres and over 45000 men underwent training. Of particular interest in this album are the 36 panoramic photographs documenting Naval Aviator and Naval Aviation mechanic classes for the 15th Regiment and 1st Battalion 15th Regiment from 1919-1920 as well as class rooms machine shops for aviation mechanics and Naval instructors. Others encompass the cutaway model Aviation engines with instructional charts on the surrounding wals the carpenter’s shop with aviation machinery jigs on work benches and airline bodies under construction. One photo depicts the Motor Laboratory Steam Laboratory and Equipment from the USS Eagle 25 at the Aviation Mechanics’ School a US Navy patrol boat which had sunk in a storm in June 1920 and then been raised and sold off as a hulk by Dec. 1921. Other panoramic photos capture the Riggers’ School classroom at Great lakes with full scale biplanes and seaplanes scale model dirigible the Coppersmith School classroom the Fittings classroom with airplane propellers hanging from the walls dip baths for machined parts and nickel plate coating and several of the Naval Aviation School football baseball and other sporting teams including the largest panorama of the Inter-Training Station Baseball championship team from Great Lakes. Wallenstein 1861-1958 was a longtime Chicago photographer through the first four decades of the 20th Century who operated his studio out of his 3928 N. Kenneth home and specialized in panoramic photographs. Western Photo Studio in Waukegan IL appears to have been short-lived as the Waukegan IL directories from 1918-1921 do not list the business but possibly connected with the Western Union Telegraph offices as the address was interchangeable. Volpe 1885-1950 began working in New York originally as a bookbinder before enlisting as an aviation mechanic with the US Navy in 1910 assigned originally to the newly formed ground school in Pensacola and later became Chief Warrant Officer Pilot Airman and Instructor who oversaw the Naval Aviation Training School from 1918-1921. He was also the assistant Athletic officer for baseball and tennis at the base. Naval Aviation Training School, L. Blakemore, Isaack Wallenstein, & Western Photo Studio (Photographers), unknown

St. Louis MO & Pompano FL: William F. Remmert Elizabeth Douglas Remmert Remmert-Werner Inc. 1942-1963. Thick folio. 14.75 x 12 x 3.5 in. 166 pp unpaginated. most original folio sized beige paper other smaller mylar sleeves with photos & clippings inserted many pages with significant manuscript in ink. With 230 total photographs tipped-in some in corners some inserted into archival sleeves occasional old scotch tape mountings over 30 in colour sized from 2.5 x 3.5 in. up to 8 x 10 in. and even 6 x 14 in. most with pencil ink typed or printed captions beside in the lower margins or amongst the 200 clippings mounted and tipped-in to the sheets many large folding two original dealer’s catalogues for the Sabreliner aircraft including dealer literature and business cards. Original padded post-binder embossed & raised decorations in gilt & silver on front cover typed title label taped to upper fore-edge some scuffing edgewear chipping & tears to some leaves toning to newspaper clippings offsetting and ghosting from tape some photos w/ minor tears occasional offsetting from clippings still an excellent exemplar. This impressive and well-documented photo album/scrapbook filled with 230 photographs provide an incomparable visual and textual record for the aviation company Remmert-Werner Inc. from World War II to the 1960s. Remmert 1913-1989 was a high school dropout working at the Curtiss-Wright hangar at Lambert Field in St. Louis where his father worked as a Watchmen in the 1930s. He quickly rose in the company becoming the Curtiss-Wright Company Tech Rep in China during the opening years of World War II and in 1943 became a Naval Officer inspecting material production for aircraft until 1945. As shown in the photographs and explained through clippings and manuscript notes in Remmert’s bold hand Remmert-Werner Air Service was founded at Lambert Field following World War II selling Beechcraft and Cessna Aircraft and buying up war surplus airplanes for conversion. The images depict the Air Ambulance charter service with a fleet of three Beechcraft airplanes from 1945-1946 as well as the Air Service establishing themselves as dealers for Motorola Piper Swift and Fairchild Aircraft founding a Flight Training School and contracting with Texaco to sell aviation fuel at the field. The images also portray Remmert-Werner quickly buying up a couple surplus PT-19 biplane trainers when their flight school expanded to Starling Airport by 1947. They would later begin selling and leasing Beechcraft Lodestar and eventually the Sabreliner corporate jets. The photographs also display their twin engine Beech D18S aircraft setting in front of the Remmert-Werner hangar with Texaco signage and Texaco oil truck the Cessna 140 winner of the Miami Air Races Motorola Radio J3 Cub aircraft their Vultee BT-13 Valiant trainer aircraft and even a Convair B-36 Peacemaker which was the largest mass-produced piston-engined aircraft ever built on display at an Army air show on Lambert field with the Remmert-Werner hangars in the background. Remmert-Werner quickly moved into converting aircraft for corporate clients in 1946 and over the next two decades would convert over 200 aircraft service 1000s of planes and became famous for their luxurious flying penthouses for corporate and wealthy clients. Not only are their images showing the clients visiting the Remmert-Werner hangars and airfields with clippings specifying and promoting their clients but also many images of the company dog named Myrtle setting on discarded parts or nosing her way into photos. Remmert & Werner began their career by converting a surplus C-47A to the DC-3 “Prairie Wings†by enlarging the windows installing luxurious seats galley operations and upon completion took the whole company to the Indianapolis Air Races in 1948 which were the first following World War II. They also converted and maintained the corporate fleet for the Gaylord Container Corporation by buying up a number of surplus B-25 aircraft and turning them into corporate and freighter planes for Gaylord. In 1948 they began work on creating a deluxe aircraft for Arthur Godfrey 1903-1983 radio and TV entertainer and aviation enthusiast with photos showing the progress the painting news clippings and even an inscribed thank you note from Godfrey. Their other clients included Coca-Cola Procter & Gamble International Harvester Olin Matheson Chemical Grumman Aircraft and Hercules Powder. Their conversions involved gutting the planes and installing completely new systems and interiors including lounge chairs sofas tables lamps galleys and any other special furnishings. They were well known for their DC-3 window modifications which increased the size of the windows for passengers. They also established company affiliates in Toledo OH Cleveland OH Mercer County Airport at Trenton NJ and an airfield in Pompano Beach Florida in 1956. See: Remmert-Werner. . .

[AVIATION -- LOCKHEED U-2].
An unusual group of colour photo transparencies for lighted salesman sample cases or overhead presentations illustrating several configurations of Lockheed U-2R and U-2S spy planes developed by Melpar E-systems in the 1980s and 1990s.
Falls Church VA & Burbank CA: Melpar Inc. E-Systems; Lockheed Aircraft Co. ca. 1990. Nine colour photo transparencies sized 8 x 10 in. all mounted on cream-coloured and green matte boards sized 10 x 12 in. many w/ pencil & ink annotations some w/ Melpar ownership label on versos 1 image from a printed colour photo all w/ nice contrast minor edgewear rubbing to matte boards still VG set. These scarce images focus on assorted configurations for the famed Lockheed U-2R spy planes including those later converted into U-2S jets and some appearing in their Superpod configuration while others in the very odd Span Pod configuration in flight and on the tarmac. The aircraft depicted include the 68-10339 U-2 which first flew in Oct. 22 1968 transferred to Davis-Monthan AFB in 1972 and later to Beale AFB before being upgraded and later crashed killing Captain Rich Snyder Dec. 13 1993; the 80-1074 TR-1A U-24 U-2S delivered to Beale AFB in Fe.b 1984 and later converted to U-2S in May 1996; and the 80-1071 U-2R delivered to Beale and converted to U-2S in Oct. 1994. Two of the images show the U-2R in Superpod configuration developed by Melpar including one image of the aircraft flying over the Golden Gate Bridge featuring twin 24-foot-long superpods mounted at midspan each wing capable of carrying 800 lbs. of equipment and three times longer than the instrument pods used during the EP-X trials. Other images show the Span Pod Configuration which consisted of a 30-inch parabolic antenna housed in an unpressurized dorsal radome on the fuselage and two for the control systems trailer.
