These original mounted and unmounted silver gelatin photographs capture the transitional moment around World War I where there was a desperate need to train mechanics engineers and workers to build repair and develop multiple styles of engines to be attached to either early aircraft or automobiles just after the Brass Era. The first photograph depicts students and work benches stretching into the distance building breaking down and repairing a myriad of flathead and V-8 engines drive trains wheels and even attaching Liberty engines to propellers in the distant background. The second focuses on assembly of what appears to be a large Cadillac V-8 engine with cylinders and crank case being attached to the block along with the heads; while the final two images capture rear differentials engine parts transmission parts and camshaft all displayed out and carefully edited with details enhanced or removed as per instructions in pencil at lower fore-edge and verso. The two ummounted photos include an image of students and instructors seated and standing in semi-circle on the shop floor under a huge “No Smoking” sign with wheels engine parts and closed cab sedan parked behind them as well with more engine machine parts stacked above; while the other focuses on an electrical department with a variety of batteries on benches and stacked on shelves behind. The first includes one of the students with arm draped over the person standing next to him holding a “Student Composition Book” while the other features a “Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Telephone Directory” hanging from the wall next to the battery racks.

First edition of this exceedingly scarce flight handbook for the famed North Americaqn F-86A Sabrejet swept wing fighter jet. This jet fought continual high-speed dogfights over Korea with similar swept-wing Soviet MiG-15 jet fighters and was considered the best fighter aicraft in the war. It experienced an extended production run of over 7800 aircraft through 1956 and was used in Air Forces around the world until 1994. This handbook details the capabilities for the aircraft armed with .50-caliber machine guns carrying bombs rockets or chemical tanks powered by the J47 turbojet engine operating limitations flight characteristics systems operation crew duties and all-weather operations. Many of the American pilots flying the Sabrejets during the Korean War were experienced World War II veterans. However as the war progressed increasing numbers of pilots were being trained at Nellis Air Force Base and the casualty rate for the fighters were quite high. The American pilots succeeded in downing 792 MiG fighters during the War. No copies located in Worldcat. United States Air Force, United States Navy], unknown
1937réf. 64225Salem OR: Paul J. Franklin Commercial Pilot Photographer 1937. Oblong 4to. 10.25 x 7 in. 24 pp unpaginated.

A fascinating souvenir album chronicling the career of a young aviator test pilot and aerial photographer during the Great Depression while working as an instructor for the T.C. Ryan Flying School in Salem & Albany Oregon. The photos depict Franklin seated in the cockpit of a race plane; aerial view of the Salem Airport and other airports; image of a 1935 Waco YPF-6 Biplane crashed onto its belly with pontoons laying behind; trick flying including inverted shots and smoke writing a ‘76” for Union 76 Gasoline. Along with an interior and exterior shot of a stylish streamlined Art Deco 1937 DeSoto the album concludes with a shot of Watsonville Airport in Santa Cruz CA with a Travel Air E-4000 biplane at the hangar entrance owned by D.M. Harwick with dirigible flying above the field. Franklin 1912-1957 was the son of longtime Salem dry cleaner owner Orie F. Franklin 1882-1960 and after Ryan Flying School became a C.A.A. flying instructor in Albany Oregon enlisted and served in the Navy during World War II recovered from a bout of malaria and following the War moved to California where he became a test pilot for North American Aviation jet aircraft until 1955. He subsequently became a Hollywood Stunt pilot working with Paul Mantz and is perhaps best remembered as having restored with his friend Coffin one of three Ryan B-1 aircraft substituted as Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis and also doubled along with Mantz for James Stewart for some shots in the filming of the 1957 movie “The Spirit of St. Louis.” Tragically he was subsequently killed after filming in an automobile accident along Pacific Highway.
