WORLD AVIATION MAP WORLD WAR II AMERICAN AIRLINES
Air World Map. By American Airlines Inc.
American Airlines. 1944. Color poster pictorial map image 22 x 33 inches 56 x 84 cm on sheet 23 x 34 inches folding to 11 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches as issued. Pinholes to corners little chipping to ends of centrefold not affecting map otherwise very good. This simple but graphically striking map is a fine example of the "air age" geography that was a hallmark of the late 1930s and 1940s in America. Mapmakers such as Richard Edes Harrison and Charles Owens employed new map projections to convey a more realistic sense of distance than the traditional Mercator projection allowed. In this map issued by American Airlines with the United States at its centre routes are represented by lines of airplanes: "The airplanes on the map are spaced 250 miles apart each one representing one hour's flight. By counting the number of airplanes along any route you can find the number of hours it takes to reach the places shown from the United States by air." The map is bordered by illustrations of products used in building airplanes: "some of the vital Air-Age materials are listed here.to understand the needs of our country in the Air age we must know what materials are needed to build airplanes where they can be obtained how they may be shipped and how accessible are the sources of supply." Under the heading "Fuel for the Air Age" is a listing of six plane types with speeds and number of miles per gallon flown so that at 10 cents per gallon "you can easily figure.how many War Stamps would be needed to pay for the fuel to fly a warplane to any point on the Air World Map." . American Airlines. unknown

WORLD WAR II / AVIATION Petrucelli A. mapmaker.
Global Map for Global War and Global Peace. Map title: Freedom of the Air.
Aluminum Company of America. 1943. Color map 20 x 17 1/2 inches on sheet 24 x 33 1/4 inches folded as issued to 8 x 5 3/4 inches. This fold out pamphlet issued by Alcoa Aluminum is an excellent example of the importance of maps and mapmaking in the United States during World War II. America was suddenly keenly made aware that the "Aviation Age" had had consequences for the geographical position it occupied vis a vis Asia and Europe. The column to the left of the map clearly sets this out in its discussion of the "new kind of projection": "The big map in the center of this sheet is a new kind of projection of the entire surface of the earth which has been developed to give a more nearly accurate conception of air directions and distances. It is called an Azimuthal Equidistant Projection or more simply a North Polar Projection.This kind of map shows the whole world continuously and it has the big advantage that straight lines between two points in the northern hemisphere the central part of the map lie quite close to the actual Great Circle route." Around the border of the map are displayed the airplane markings on planes of different countries. On the verso are more insignia for US Army Navy and Marines and silhouette illustration so friendly and enemy planes. Antonio Petrucelli was a noted illustrator and "journalistic cartographer" whose work was published in Fortune magazine amongst many other newspapers and magazines. . Aluminum Company of America. unknown

Generously illustrated throughout with dozens of original drawings likely the work of a single unnamed illustrator and photograph reproductions executed and lettered in a decidedly Seuss-ian style heavily influenced by modern cartooning lending a simplistic treatment to gravely serious and technical material. A portion of the "Safety" chapter on p. 29 with the exaggerated likeness of a pilot resting upon a cloud holding a harp wearing angel wings and captioned: "Don't try to be the 'hottest' pilot but try to be the 'oldest.'" and "There are bold pilots and there are old piltos 'But!' - there are no old bold pilots." Six chapters are broken into dozens of sections with titles like: Your Parachute Safety Inherent Stability Turns Normal Spins Landings Steep Turns Precision Immelmans Progressive Spins etc. The impact of the allied air campaign and skill of American pilots during World War II is seldom mentioned in modesty.

Overall contents well preserved. <br/><br/>The classroom lecture notebook of an unnamed cadet at The United States Army School of Aeronautics at Ohio State University Columbus OH covering January through March 1918. During WWI a pilot shortage in the United States became apparent. In response the War Department and U.S. Army formed the Aviation Cadet Training Program installing aviation training schools at six universities across the country. This program at Ohio State appears to have consisted of 8 weeks of classes with training in military drill discipline and technical instruction with an emphasis on aviation. Curriculum from the program formed the basis for the aeronautical engineering courses later taught at OSU. A scarce set of materials from an early instructional program of military aviation training and education one that would eventually become the US Air Force. np hardcover books

Old folds lower right hand corner chipped not affecting text or signature otherwise a fine letter with a bold clear signature. 1p. on Sergievsky's personal letterhead. 8vo. A letter written by the renowned Russian ace and world record setting Sikorsky test pilot on behalf of Danish-born ballet and Broadway dancer Paul Haakon considered by many to be one of greatest ballet dancers of the 20th century. <br/><br/>Reading in part: "I have known Paul Haakon Longreen for over sixteen years. In the theatrical profession he is known under the name of Paul Haakon. It is very well known that he is one of the best dancers in the world. He gave up his dancing recently to become a flying instructor purely to serve his country. I sincerely believe that anything which could be done to facilitate his joining the United States Army Air Force reserve would benefit our war effort."<br/><br/>Despite Sergievsky's recommendation in our letter it seems Haakon never became a combat pilot during WWII and instead toured as an entertainer with the United Service Organizations. He died in New York in 1992. unknown books

THE MILLIONAIRES' UNIT: THE ARISTOCRATIC FLYBOYS WHO FOUGHT THE GREAT WAR AND INVENTED AMERICAN AIRPOWER.
New York: PublicAffairs 2006. 313 pp large 8vo 9 1/2" H. B&w photographs map. "The story of a gilded generation of young men from the zenith of privilege: a Rockefeller a Taft the son on the head of the Union Pacific Railroad a son of J.P. Morgan's leading partner and several who counted friends and relatives among presidents and statesmen of the day. Most were students at Yale in 1916 striving for rewards on the athletic fields in school organizations and in Skull & Bones. They had it all and remarkably by modern standards they were prepared to risk it all to fight a distant war in France. Driven by the belief that their membership in the American elite required certain sacrifices schooled in heroism and the nature of leadership they were determined to be first into the conflict leading the way ahead of America's declaration that it would join the Great War in Europe. At the heart of the group was the Yale flying club six of whose members are the heroes of this book. They would share rivalries over girlfriends jealousies over membership in Skull & Bones and fierce ambition to be the most daring young man over the battlefields of France where the casualties among flyers were chillingly high."
