‎[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.

Bethany Airport Bethany CT all from the collection of James Markey. An uncommon archive of photographs and aircraft manuals from the now-abandoned Bethany Airport which was one of the earliest private airports in New England. Originally organized on land purchased by Harris Whittemore Jr. of Naugatuck in 1922 recognizing the commercial potential with an airport situated near Hartford CT. Of historic note and interest is the large photo of the Cairns Aircraft X-329V which was a sleek mono-wing design built entirely of metal in Naugatuck CT originally powered with 90 horsepower motor and changed out according to the ALS on the verso with a 165 horsepower 5-Cylinder Wright J-6 Engine. On March 2 1932 Elliot McCune an experienced pilot took the plane up for an exhibition flight and the wing separated less than 500 feet from the ground and was killed when the chute had little time to open and the plane was destroyed. Edmond Burke Cairns b. 1883 notes in January 1966 after the closure of the Bethany Airport that this was “the only photo I have of the first plane we built in Naugatuck.†The other photos collected by the former airport owner as well as amateur pilots and aviation enthusiasts Markey & Highbridge include images of Major William Gerson Ladd b. 1896 commander of the 118th Observation Squadron 43rd Division Aviation and the Connecticut National Guard Air Service in Hartford; photo of Lt. Mather with the 118th Observation Squadron; an historic image of Huestis “Hugh†Wells delivering the first airmail for Colonial Air Transport of Naugatuck CT July 1 1925 along the route from Boston to New York by way of Hartford; along with an aerial photo of Hartford taken by the 118th Photo Section. Also preserved in the collection are a signed photo of Torrey H. Webb who on May 15 1918 was the first air carrier of airmail leaving Belmont Park NY with 2457 pieces of airmail delivery together with TLS from Texaco to James E. Markey mentioning the inclusion of the 1943 Texaco Start with story of the event. There are also images of a Cessna Model 170B built in 1952 a 1930 Monocoupe 90A fitted later with a Lycoming O-320 engine a Grumman single engine Model G-164 a Stinson Reliant the Wedell-Williams Racer #44 and many others. Addressed to Highbridge are the promotional literature partial blueprints and pricing with photos for the Falconar AMF-S14 Maranda a 2-seat light kit aircraft based on the Adam RA-14 Loisir a Lycoming O-320 engine and folding wings so it could be towed behind a car; another brochure for the Mignet HM290 “Airport†also known as the Flying Flea and photos showing the construction of the kit planes. The original inspection and operations manuals are quite scarce and those included in this grouping encompass the manual for the 1934 SR-5 Stinson Reliant built with a 41-foot wingspan with 145 produced the SR-7 Reliant which had a wing of 41 feet as well but it was the first taper-wing gull-wing Reliant and subsequently the plane earned the nickname of Stinson “Gullwing.†The 1940 Stinson Voyager Model 105 developed after Consolidated Vultee purchased the company was a 3-passenger aircraft and very successful with such notable owners as James Stewart and Howard Hughes snapping up theirs in the first Voyagers produced. During World War II the L-5 Sentinel version became the U.S. Army’s most used and least recognized aircraft serving as artillery spotter medical evacuation aerial reconnaissance and passenger transport. The parts catalogue included here for the 1946-47 provides invaluable historical reference for the very popular Flying Station Wagon or the Stinson 108 resulting in nearly 5000 produced and after being sold to Piper in 1949 the remainder were sold as Piper-Stinson aircraft for years. The very rare parts list and diagrams detailing the Luscombe Aircraft produced in Dallas TX shows the upgrades to the aircraft with an all metal wing two 12.5 gallon wing tanks and rear windows increasing visibility.

‎[AVIATION -- PHOTO ALBUM]. [ACKROYD, Hugh].‎

‎Proof Book: Portland to Portland Air Tour. . . photo album filled with over 200 silver gelatin photographs of the participants aircraft aerial photos and hijinks of 150 fliers and over 55 private aircraft flying from Portland Oregon to Portland Maine in May 1949.‎

‎Portland OR: Ackroyd Photography Inc. 2116 NW 20th Ave. May 1949. 4to. 88 pp unpaginated thin yellow-tinted paper w/ 215 original silver gelatin photographs sized from 3.5 x 4.5 in. up to 8 x 10 in. a number are 4.5 x 7 in. mounted with glue on the leaves stamped Ackroyd on versos each with negative number on verso some w/ negative numbers in fore-edge of image. Original tan softcover split-pin binder sewn at gutter margin w/ cotton twine occasional creasing to covers minor shelfwear some images w/ minor folds or creases especially those at gutter margins still a VG exemplar. This fascinating photographic proof book provides historic images of the first transcontinental private “Air Tour†following World War II and the lifting of aviation restrictions at the end of the War. With 1000s of returning fliers from the United States armed forces with flying experience Americans began taking to the skies in record numbers. Participants were able upon their return later to Portland OR go to the photographer’s studio and pick out which images they would like to purchase and add to their own souvenir books. On May 21 1949 the Portland Oregon Chamber of Commerce had organized an air tour which was similar to those which had heavily promoted civil aviation in the 1920s and 1930s from Portland OR across the continent to Portland Maine. Fifty-five aircraft plus a US Air Force C-47 assembled at Troutdale Airport and took off surrounded by the Chamber of Commerce Aviation Committee. Ackroyd 1913-2012 noted aviation commercial photographer and aerial aficionado was contracted along with KGW Radio’s director of public events Bob Tomlinson and Earl Peterson technical supervisor to document the historic tour. These images show the 55 planes parked across the tarmac participants eating and loading their planes appearances by representatives from the 1949 Pendleton Round-Up including cowboys and Native Americans in native dress and the decidedly cramped quarters inside a few of the larger aircraft. Peterson and Tomlinson are shown setting up their equipment and broadcasting campy skits featuring the Grants Pass air club members in cave man costumes “kidnapping†and carrying off female members others in pirate costumes along with a tour of a B-29 superfortress. There are photos of aircraft taking off and landing at airports in Salt Lake City UT Cheyenne WY Wichita KS Indianapolis IN Akron OH Lock-Haven PA including the Portland Rose Festival plane float planes with all finally reaching Portland ME on May 28 1949. Upon arrival there was a huge lobster feast party featuring a map decorated cake and the fliers were met by Portland ME officials and Governor Frederick G. Payne. Ackroyd shows the welcome banners airport and the planting of gift roses in front of the Portland ME sign. Of particular interest are the series of aerial photos over Manhattan and the other boroughs of New York City in 1949. Ackroyd was a Canadian photographer who began shooting photos at the age of 16 in British Columbia moved to Hollywood where he shot celebrity portraits but eventually moved to Portland OR before World War II and began shooting pictures of ships and barges for Gunderson Inc. and Shaver Transportation Co. He was adept at aerial photography and was well known for his images of Mt. Hood and the Columbia River Gorge from the air.
