The prototype model had been tested at Van Cortlandt Park in The Bronx New York prior it’s division into six different park spaces by Robert Moses’s construction of the Henry Hudson Parkway and Mosholu Parkway. The fuselage was designed to be 45 in. long standing 16 in. climbing 500 feet per minute and designed to be dismantled into 6 different pieces and stowed in special case. Although the catalogue is vague on the “Automatic Pilot†it appears to have been some sort of early mechanical gyroscope possibly similar to the autopilot introduced by Sperry and Shiras in 1930 for the US Army Air Corps. Elton 1893-1966 was an aviation enthusiast and cartoonist who began as a sports cartoonist with the Philadelphia Record and Motion Picture Magazine and moved in 1916 to movie animation with Paramount-Bray Studio Cameragraph Film Co. and directed The Whozit Weekly cartoon series for Universal from 1918-1920 where both his sisters worked as silent film actresses. He continued as an animator and cartoonist publishing his “Jack Daw’s Adventures†cartoon strip and then was recruited about 1932-1933 by Walt Disney where he subsequently moved to California and spent the rest of his career until 1950 when he began manufacturing model airplanes again for Hobby Craft Supply Maufacturing in Burbank CA.

Steven B.aker Hagadorn 1920-2007 who was serving during the Korean War at the U.S. Naval Air Station Ocean City New Jersey in 1950-1954. First edition of this exceedingly scarce manual written to train and educate Navy Balloonists before the U.S. entered World War I after the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company secured a contract to train 20 men in free ballooning in May 1917. This work describes the free balloon how to construct and use various parts of the balloon details the physical properties of gases used for lift the physics behind the gases and atmosphere preparations for flight the proper methods of handling the balloon in the air as well as on the ground as well as advising the balloonist to exercise care in using gasoline to remove oil from balloon fabrics by avoiding the seams because it will cause the seam to deteriorate. The illustrations and photos at the end show a balloon being laid out for inflation inflated setting the sandbags rigging and ascension of the balloon. The Jan. 28 1918 typescript by Lieut. Comm. Teed specifically outlines the technical advantages and uses of employing hydrogen in the free balloons with specific equations and calculations for volume lift and more. Goodyear had established its Aeronautics Department in 1910 to market rubber impregnated fabrics and coatings for airplanes and lighter-than-air craft and began buildings its first balloons in 1912. In 1916 Goodyear bought 720 acres of land southeast of Akron to serve as their flying school and manufacturing site. Around the same time they began building their first airship in March 1917 they were also negotiating for a contract with the government to train balloonists for the Navy. Of particular interest in this work are the presence of the original manuscript “Free Balloon Log Sheets†documenting free flights starting in Winfoot Lake OH and landing in East Lewistown Homeworth Youngstown & Minerva OH; Sagerstown & Hallston PA Columbia Station. Several of the sheets note weather conditions flight altitudes how they landed and manuscript observations taken during the flights. Roth 1885-1950 was a noted sport balloonist before and after World War I up through the 1930s was a balloon instructor during World War I for Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and also was a pilot in the U.S. National Balloon race in 1930.

[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

[AVIATION -- WHITEHEAD/WOMEN]. RANDOLPH, Stella.
Lost flights of Gustave Whitehead.
Washington DC: Places Inc. 1937. Tall 8vo. x 11-95 1 pp. Photo frontisp. numerous photo illusts. maps. Black silk moire gilt lettering on front cover & spine slight shelfwear w/ d.j. cover art illustration of Whitehead’s machine in flight by Liebowitz still F/F copy. First edition first issue w/o reviews on back cover of this fascinating work which was the first to put forward the arguments that Gustave Whitehead 1874-1927 had achieved power flight 2 years before the Wright Brothers in 1901. This controversy has reemerged in the recent years because the editor of Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft chose to support the claim while most including the National Air & Space Museum Curator feel that the evidence is very sparse. In addition there have been recent teams in 1986 and 1998 constructing experimental reproductions of Whitehead 21B at the Experimental Association fly-in and in Germany but these have been disputed as well because they have used some modern materials such as fiberglass and modern engines. Randolph b. 1895 was initially drawn into researching the flights of Whitehead during the Great Depression as a free-lance writing assignment and would eventually accumulate a substantial collection of correspondence affidavits articles and interviews now held in the Special Collections History of Aviation Collection Univ. of Texas at Dallas ID # H001-71.
