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.

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. . .

‎San Antonio TX: H. Rudolph Fox Photographer 1911. One large panoramic photo. 48 x 7.5 in. captions scratched into negative at lower margin minor restoration to small portion at the very lower far right fore-edge minor creasing still a VG exemplar. This exceedingly scarce original panoramic photograph features the United States Army maneuvers in March 1911 and was one of the earliest such camps to coordinate with US Army fliers. Within the image the YMCA tent is identified as well as the placement of the field hospital field artillery the Signal Corps as well as the Depot Commissary in the foreground. Above three different biplanes are shown flying maneuvers including the Wright Model B flown by Lt. Benjamin D. Foulois who along with Phil Parmalee flew the first military reconnaissance scouting missions in a fixed-wing aircraft along the US-Mexico border; as well as planes flown by Robert McCormic an early Chicago aviator and inventor who would later construct and house several experimental aircraft at Fort Sam Houston as well as Ben Johnson a San Antonio inventor who flew a Johnson Wright Model B airplane. The Wright Model B was the Wright brothers’ most successful aircraft produced from 1910 to 1914 and they were shipping nearly 4 aircraft a month. Unfortunately the rear elevator made the Model B more tail heavy and prone to stall and within two years faster propeller first aircraft with drag-reducing fuselages began appearing. Fort Sam Houston was a very popular experimental airfield for flying meets air races because it occupied 800 acres annd the field was unbroken by no hills of real prominence. Established in 1890 as a post the War Department began expanding the Fort after the Spanish-American War adding Cavalry and Light Artillery from 1905-1912 and also served as the birth of military aviation. Lt. Foulois had made his first solo flight the year before in March 1910. See: Edmond Percy Noel America Now Has Forty Flying Fields San Antonio Tex.
