‎[AVIATION -- NORTHROP, Jack].‎

‎The N-3PB: a photographic journey through its history recovery restoration and rollout Northrop team in-house pre-publication souvenir albums with an additional 35 photographs.‎

‎Hawthorne CA: Northrop Corporation Aircraft Division 1979-1980. Two vols. 4to. 54 pp some plates numbered; 68 pp unpaginated. With 64 photographs nearly all 8 x 10 in. photographs many dry-mounted on plates all others inserted in archival mylar sleeves many w/ annotations either on verso or text w/in negative most are drawn from Northrop factory photo archive printed on 1979-1980 era Kodak black & white and colour glossy photo paper stock while a couple appear to be earlier Northrop in-house factory press photos. First vol. in 20-ring faux leather binder grass cloth endpapers printed label on front pastedown brass plate mounted front cover rounded corners 2nd vol. in 3-ring brown simulated calf all images in excellent condition NF from the library of David H. Kenyon 1918-2011 former Lockheed engineer & military sales manager as well as aviation consultant for Pan American TWA and the Venezuelan Airlines and later President of the Southern California Wing of the OX5 Aviation Pioneers. An extraordinary pre-publication souvenir album for the Northrop Corporation’s recovery and restoration of the N-3PB floatplane which was Jack Northrop’s first produced aircraft after he had established his company upon leaving Douglas in 1939. March 12 1940 the Norwegian government had contracted with Northrop to build 24 seagoing patrol bombers and he was able to design and build the prototype in less than eight months unfortunately test flying Nov. 1 1940 at Lake Elsinore CA 6 1/2 months after the Nazi German invasion and occupation of Norway by the end of June 1940. These exceptional images show the prototype N-3PB the flexible machine gun in the rear cockpit flight operations in Iceland and Wolford’s photos of test flights on Lake Elsinore. The first album’s photos include a list of plate captions detailing the photo showing Nos. 321 324 320 the restored plane and 315 in flight; N3PB’s packed on the beach; ground crew handling an N-3PB at the dock in Fossvogur and more. Although never delivered to Norway Norwegian pilots in the 330 Squadron flew out of Iceland controlled by Britain at the time and flew missions and fought against German Focke-Wulf FW 200 long range reconnaissance bombers and Blohm & Voss BV 138 Flying Boats. The remainder of both albums focus on the discovery recovery and restoration of No. 320 GS-U an N-3PB from 330 Squadron’s satellite base at Budareiry which was caught in a heavy snow shower and forced down in 1943. Discovered and then salvaged in 1979 through the efforts of a team of Icelandic Norwegian British and American volunteers led by Ragnar J. Ragnarsson vice president of the Icelandic Aviation Historical Society. These images show the lifting of the plane the restoration after its return to Northrop’s Hawthorne Factory where over 300 volunteers of the Western Museum of Flight’s staff and former Northrop employees rebuilt it to its 1943 appearance and rolled it out Nov. 10 1980. Many of the images included here augment those mounted within the souvenir albums showing more stages and some include black & white as well as colour images. The floatplane was displayed in Reykjavik at its’ former Icelandic home base and finally installed at the Norwegian Armed Forces Museum at Gardermoen Airport. It was believed to be the only known survivor until 2003 when another was discovered in the waters off Reykjavik and may eventually be recovered. Roy Wolford 1915-2013 began as an aircraft mechanic and followed Northrop when he set up his corporation becoming the company’s official photographer and head of the photography department. Although unsigned many of these images are attributed to Wolford.

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. . .
