ORMER LOCKLEAR ARCHIVE
An archive of research and writing materials gathered for a biography of Ormer Locklear the daredevil aerial stuntman who was the first to change planes mid-air and died while filming the silent movie The Skywayman 1920. It took more than a decade for author Art Ronnie to research Locklear's life and find a publisher for his book Locklear: The Man Who Walked on Wings 1973. Born in Greenville Texas Locklear 1891-1920 became fascinated with flying when aviation pioneer Calbraith Perry Rodgers landed in a Fort Worth field to unclog a fuel line. With his brothers Locklear built gliders and later learned to fly after joining the U.S. Army Air Force in 1917 eventually becoming a flight instructor. He left the Army in 1919 and with two colleagues joined show promoter and manager William Pickens to form an aerial circus before he was recruited for the silver screen. In his personal life Locklear married Ruby Graves in 1915 but they separated in 1919 and thereafter she refused to grant him a divorce. After moving to Hollywood he became involved with silent screen actress Viola Dana who was at the airfield the night of the accident and witnessed his death. One of the key items in this archive is a scarce original poster for Locklear's first feature film The Great Air Robbery Universal 1919. After watching one of Locklear's aerial circus shows Carl Laemmle signed Locklear to a series of motion pictures. In this movie Locklear played Larry Cassidy a pilot for the U.S. Air Mail Service who defends a shipment of $20000 in gold from the villainous clutches of the evil Chester Van Arland Ray Ripley. The film made use of all the stunts that had made Locklear a household name as a barnstormer. The picture was a hit and Locklear was well on his way to a fabulous career on the silver screen. The stone lithographic posters measures 27" x 41" and features a portrait of the daring aviator. It is archivally framed with an acid-free mount and UV plexiglass. This film and The Skywayman are both considered "lost films" as no known prints exists in archives. This archive also includes more than 300 hundred negatives and photographs of Locklear's short life and career that were collected by Art Ronnie from Locklear family members newspapers movie studios and historical societies. Included among them is a framed 8" x 10" black-and-white photograph that is signed by Locklear who is wearing his military uniform. A second framed photograph from his Hollywood days includes a signature framed below the photo. Neither of these images have been inspected outside the frame. Ronnie was a meticulous record keeper. This archive includes copies of letters the author wrote to Locklearfamily members friends film studios libraries and historical societies. It includes two expandable folders containing copies of the more than 300 letters Ronnie wrote researching the book with the recipients' responses attached. He began his research in 1961 while working at the Los Angeles Herald Examiner using the newspaper's stationary with the intention of writing a magazine piece on spec. After the initial article was published he decided to pursue a book and many of his later letters reflect the struggle to find a publisher. By 1962 he is using Twentieth Century Fox Television letterhead after having switched careers to be a publicist with the network. Among the early letters Ronnie wrote is one to Locklear's sister Anita Mae Locklear who still lived in the family's hometown of Fort Worth Texas. "Would you please write down anything you recall about Ormer - his personality his motorcycling and racing days any amusing anecdotes his first desires to fly his decision to come to Hollywood and his funeral which I understand was one of the largest ever held in Fort Worth." In her return letter Anita shared a few facts: "He was flying with Pickens Flying Circus when the studio was interested and signed him up for the pictures." Ronnie appeared to have the most success and the longest running correspondence with Locklear's brother James who became the point person for the family. The two men corresponded excitedly after uncovering a copy of the Barron Field Review which contained a photo feature of "Locklear's Class in Aerial Calisthenics." Ronnie tracked down one of Locklear's fellow aviators who recalled in a letter that Locklear was fearless and often got in trouble for aerial antics: "He liked stunts and thrills and experimented with crawling all over the plane which finally gave him the idea that he could change planes in the air." Among the letters is a typed signed reply from the actress Mary Pickford who provides Ronnie with a contact to Charlie Chaplin and notes that her brother Jack and Ormer were good friends: "On the night that Locklear was killed my brother was scheduled to go up with him but mother had prepared Jack's favorite dinner and as luck would have it the dinner was late." Ronnie also chased down leads that didn't pan out. He corresponded in 1961 with movie producer Robert Youngson about a rumor that Locklear was one of the stunt pilots involved in the unplanned mid-air collision of two planes during the filming of the Harry Houdini movie The Grim Game. "My own guess is that the stuntman on that wing could not possibly have escaped and must have been killed" Youngson wrote. The publicity machine around the 1919 film claimed Houdini was involved and escaped the crash but Ronnie's research uncovered the fact that Houdini was nowhere near the planes. Miraculously his stunt double survived the crash with just a few cuts and bruises. After working on the project for more than a decade Ronnie landed A.S. Barnes as a publisher. One of the folders in this archive contains dozens of rejection letters he received from publishers between 1962 and 1971 when he signed his publishing deal. For the first several years he was represented by literary agent Carolyn Willyoung Stagg of Lester Lewis Associates. After receiving feedback from Holt she wrote the following in January 1962 to Ronnie: "Are you at all interested in doing a couple of consecutive chapters which will be less 'journalistic and slap-dashed style' and will get down the essential motivation and characterization which made Locklear a colorful figure" In 1969 Barnes rejected Ronnie's manuscript but decided to move forward with it in 1971. He was paid a $250 royalty advance. Once the book went to press Ronnie pushed the publisher about its promotion and sales strategies taking on much of the public relations campaign himself calling in favors and urging those he knew in the media to mention his book. He seemed less impressed with Barnes' sales efforts writing to Julien Yoseloff of Barnes in October 1973: "When a book has received the publicity Locklear has I believe it behooves the publisher to let the booksellers know about it.I believe the publicity Locklear has received in very unusual. In addition to reviews more than 800 newspapers have mentioned it and excerpts have appeared in eight magazines." Ronnie's personal copy of the book is included with the archive. It contains his bookplate and is inscribed by Viola Dana and her sister Shirley Mason also an actress from the silent film era. This copy is also signed by Jimmy Doolittle who provided Ronnie with an opening quote for the book. The materials including several typescript versions of the book in this collection are stored in three banker boxes and all the materials are in very good condition. This archive provides a complete record of an important early aviator who transitioned into movie making. In addition it is an important writers archive demonstrating how original research is developed and the evolution of a book as well as its printing and promotion. Please inquire for a complete inventory of this archive. unknown books

The West Side Y.M.C.A. Airplane School Notebook from 1918
New York: Y.M.C.A. Training School 1918. Octavo. Three ring notebook filled with unlined loose-leaf paper. Handwritten notes made by unknown author. Date on first notes paper is Sept. 7th - 1918. The student who kept this notebook included many drawings of implements and mechanical parts of airplanes. Also included in the notebook is "the Compound Nozzle Explained" a short 14 pages pamphlet from 1915. The student punched holes and added it to his course notes. The notebook covers two courses: Airplane Motors with Professor Hall and Plane School with Mr. Chedester. In the back of the notebook there is a bibliography a list of tools needed to apply for positions in an airplane factory and a long list of questions the student recorded to ask after lectures. Several clippings from magazines or other sources are included throughout. The student who kept this notebook would have been well prepared for a career in the U.S. Air Service or in a factory. According to the U.S. Labor Department Training Bulletin see below a graduate of the Y.M.C.A. Airplane Mechanics School could expect to earn between $35 and $50 per week to start up from $12 per week in nonessential industry. The training program lasted for 5 weeks 6 days per week. There was also a night program that lasted for 10 weeks. "The West Side Y.M.C.A. Airplane School was established in November 1917 with the object to supply a crying need for men with some knowledge of airplanes both in the Air Service and in the factories. At that time the Government made a call for 10000 airplane mechanics who were urgently needed for this service. In all probability there were less than 1500 mechanics in the whole country who had any experience with airplanes in the field. The Y.M.C.A. embarked upon an extensive advertising program using newspapers magazines and billboards. The results were most gratifying as the school has always had a waiting list regardless of the increased floor space and additional capacity. Inquire for more details. Y.M.C.A.

Aviation Chuck Yeager
Chuck Yeager Letter Signed: ".to fly faster than the speed of sound they assumed the resulting drag rise may tear the aircraft apart. I was apprehensive. But you don't let that apprehension affect your job.
Chuck Yeager. Famous Aviator. Best known for being the first pilot to break the Sound Barrier. Typed letter signed by Yeager in which he writes about breaking the sound barrier. No date. 8 1/2 x 11 in. "Chuck Yeager" printed at top of page. "Many aviators believed that man was not meant to fly faster than the speed of sound they assumed the resulting drag rise may tear the aircraft apart. I was apprehensive about trying to break the sound barrier. But you don't let that apprehension affect your job. On October 14 1947 Glamorous Glenn with me in the cockpit was lifted to an altitude of 25000 feet by a World War II B-29 bomber and then they released my X-1 through the bomb bay. Once in the air I was rocketing to 40000 feet and exceeding 662 miles per hour which was the sound barrier at that altitude. As I always said you don't concentrate on risks. You concentrate on results." He also writes on his activity as a flying ace in WWII: "I flew 64 missions over Europe.and shot down 13 German planes. I was also shot down myself once over France." 2 original fold lines. Bold signature at bottom of page and In very good condition. unknown books

AVIATION COURSE
Very Rare Printing of the Translated Coursebook in Aviation for American Officers in Paris 1918 No Other Known Examples Discovered in OCLC
The Heavier-Than-Air; The Aeroplane". 1918 English Translation from the original French as "A Course for the American Officers" in Paris for service in World War I. Written by Marchis a professor at the University of Paris. Mimeographed translation in English. A very rare example of early Franco-American cooperation on aeronautics especially under the threat of World War I and a glimpse in to the very earliest use of aircraft for military purposes. No examples of this rare mimeograph text are found in any institutional collection or library in the United States or abroad according to a search of OCLC Worldcat. <br/><br/>Less than a decade following the Wright Brothers' first flight at Kitty Hawk North Carolina in 1902 flight was growing as an intense area of study both in America and across the Atlantic in Europe. Paris became a center for aeronautic discovery with the Deutsch-Archdeacon Prize given in 1906 to the first observed flight greater than 25 meters and the Aero-Club de France. This text book "Heavier-Than-Air; The Aeroplane" was originally published in parts from 1910 to 1912. World War I provided intense motivation on both sides of the Atlantic to push forward the development of the airplane to a usable form of transport as well as a weapon. The American troops deployed to Paris were put under the tutelage of Professor Marchis of the University of Paris to learn the mechanics of flight as well as operation and maintenance of aircraft and exciting recent developments. Professor Marchis had his groundbreaking text book translated hurriedly into English in order to accompany his courses to the American Officers in his training. One chapter begins "The Eiffel Tower was the first laboratory utilized by the celebrated engineer in his researches in aerodynamics carried on during the past ten years. Bodies thrown from one of the platforms of the tower have permitted a study of free fall in calm air." Other chapters explain "Data Varying with Altitude" "Gyration" etc. There are several double-sized or even much larger sheets of equations and hand-drawn graphs on blue carbon paper folded in to explain aspects of flight. One of the most exciting features of this book is the apparent speed under which it was translated and prepared for use. Double-prints of words "the the" pages that drop off midway through and pick up again on the following page spelling errors and misprints abound. The quality of the original printing varies dramatically as the mimeograph machine apparently lost ink. The hand-drawn carbon images of graphs are transferred directly from the original and not translated from French. The quality of the book demonstrates its immediate necessity for the immense task at hand in winning the war. Hard-bound brown half morocco covers. Spine labeled in gilt in French "L. Marchis Cours Aeronautique Pours Les Officers Americains." A large-sized thick book of over 300 pages. Rubbed on spine and corners. Partial split along spine. Very rare. unknown books
