Such courses as these automotive training schools provided vital expertise for fueling the expansion of automobile manufacturers auto repair shop and service stations later during the 1920s. Following demobilization after World War I the U.S. Congress which had refused to allocate funds to compensate and support veterans when passing the 1917 conscription laws so these industrial training programs were given grants and specific citations in order to encourage returning soldiers to avoid union activity.

[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 PHOTO ALBUM -- CZECHOSLOVAKIA]. [KUCERA, S.].
Jubilee album. 25th anniversary of aircraft production in the Moravan National Company In Czech Jubilejni album. 25. vyroci letecke vyroby v n.p. Moravan. Deluxe presentation photo album catalogue with 185 real photographs of the 25 year history of the company’s production of gliders racing aircraft and trainers which was recently renamed again the Zlin Aircraft Company.
Otrokovice: S. Kucera n.p. Moravan 1958. Oblong elephant folio. 19.5 x 14.25 x 2.25 in. 49 leaves of thick dark gray paper stock each leaf retaining original tissue guards. Title page & colophon in white ink calligraphy. 185 tipped-in real photos 46 leaves with tipped-in printed histories & descriptions matched to the tipped-in photos. Embossed & stitched padded leather post binding brown silk braid at gutter margin elaborate gilt embossed illustration & logo on front cover of Moravian Airplane w/ laurel leaf cluster around 25 LET slight shelfwear a fine copy. This spectacular and exceptionally large Soviet-era photo album offers an invaluable visual record of the 25 year history of the central European Zlin/Moravan Aviation Company. This amazing production is beautifully done and all of the photographs are quite crisp. The first 6 leaves illustrated with photos and text detail the history of the company from its formation in 1933 as the Zlin Aviation Company which was commissioned to build gliders by the Masaryk Air League since the major shareholder the Bata Company was not allowed by the Ministry in charge of aircraft production to produce powered aircraft. These early gliders were designed by the Czech aeronautical engineer Kryspin and included the Kluzak Zlin I Vetron Zlin II the Kluzak Zlin III designed by R. Dohnalek and then several designed by F.O. Mayer including the Kluzak - Zlin V VI the very popular Vetron Zlin VII -- Akela which was used throughout Europe as a racing glider and others. Zlin Aviation began producing powered aircraft finally in late 1934 and 1935 with prototypes of the Zlin Z-XII sport and two-seater trainer monoplane. The Z-XII trainer designed by Jaroslav Lonek became the most popular aircraft of its kind in Czechoslovakia and Germany during the 1930s eventually producing over 200 of them powered by Walter Mikron engines illustrated here in the catalogue and later with Persy I and Persy II engines. One of the images included shows the Z-XII at the 1938 races where the plane finished 29th. After World War II the aircraft were used by the Czech Army and as courier planes and were called the K-72 -- replicas of these are being built to this day. Just before the Nazis took over Czechoslovakia in 1938 the company experimented with producing a racing plane called the Letoun Zlin 13 but only 1 was built. After the Germans took over and renamed the company Zlin Aviation Enterprise they built 1 Letoun Zlin-20 which was to be a small two-engine passenger plane but it was quickly superseded by the need to produce the Bu 181 for the Luftwaffe which was the Z-181 Z-281 -- a two seat primary trainer which continued to be built for air forces around the world after World War II. They also produced a variety of gliders for the Luftwaffe and private individuals during the War. After the war the company was nationalized by the Communist Government and became part of the Automotive Enterprise and later renamed Zlinavion. In 1953 it was again renamed Moravan Company and began producing the very successful trainers and aerobatic planes used in aerobatic competition around the world. The Letoun Z-226 Trainer followed by the Z-326 which in this catalogue is still a prototype resulted in numerous different models and over 800 aircraft eventually built by the company and sold around the world. In addition the final leaf shows the Moravan Vrtulnik HC 2 a small 2-seater helicopter which also proved popular for the company. S. Kucera, n.p. Moravan, hardcover
