(AVIATION) BARLING, Walter HBiblio.com

Confidential Prospectus for the Formation of the Barling Aircraft Corporation.

194274006Santa Cruz: N.p. ca. 1942. Original typescript 18-page rectos only document recounting the aviation design skills of Walter Henry Barling and seeking investors for his proposed Barling Aircraft Corporation. In a binder with an original 8 x 10 photograph of the Barling Bomber with its development crew standing in front of it with Walter Barling at the far right standing right next to General "Billy: Mitchell; William Lendrum Mitchell was a United States Army general who is regarded as the father of the United States Air Force.Walter Henry Barling was born in England and for a time worked as a designer for the Royal Aircraft Company there but soon immigrated to the United States. He was an engineer of the first order and was soon at work on experimental aircraft for the US government. While his contributions to the history of flight are many and varied he is chiefly remembered as the designer of the ill-fated "Barling Bomber." The Barling Bomber is generally attributed the press called it "Mitchell's Folly" to William "Billy" Mitchell a U.S. Army Air Service General and most vocal advocate of strategic airpower who in 1919 discovered Walter H. Barling who had previously worked for the Royal Aircraft Factory. Mitchell asked Barling to design a bomber capable of carrying enough bombs to sink a battleship. Mitchell's goal was to demonstrate the effectiveness of airpower by sinking a battleship from the air and needed a large strategic bomber in order to accomplish this feat. Mitchell projected the cost of two prototype bombers at $375000. On 15 May 1920 the Army Engineering Division sought bids for the construction of a bomber based on Barling's sketches with the requirement that it be capable of carrying a 5000 lb 2300 kg bomb load to an altitude of 10000 ft 3000 m at a speed of no less than 100 mph 160 km/h.23 Barling had all of its engines mounted level with the fuselage. The aircraft used three wings but was not actually a triplane. More correctly it was a two-and-a-half wing aircraft. The middle wing had no control surfaces and was shorter and narrower than the two primary wings. The top and bottom wings had a chord of 13 ft 6 in 4.11 m and each had a surface area of about 2000 sq ft 190 m2. The stabilizer and elevator surfaces were 575 sq ft 53.4 m2 with an 8 ft 2.4 m chord. The fins and rudders looked like a box kite and had a surface area of 250 sq ft 23 m2. The undercarriage consisted of 10 wheels including two wheels mounted towards the front of the aircraft to prevent a nose-over on takeoff and a tail skid. The gross weight of the bomber was 42569 lb. It had a fuel capacity of 2000 gallons and carried 181 gallons of oil. On 22 August 1923 the Barling Bomber made its maiden flight from Wilbur Wright Field in Fairfield Ohio. At the time it was by far the heaviest aircraft in the world and remains large even by today's standards. Although capable of carrying a 5000 lb 2300 kg bomb load it was soon discovered that the aircraft was seriously underpowered and performance was disappointing. When it failed to fly over the Appalachian Mountains the program was discontinued. Many historians point out its influence in the development of the great bombers of WWII; the B29 and B17.But Walter Barley's aviation career did not end there. He turned to civil aviation and designed a three place low wing high performance monoplane which could be made by quality production methods such as those used in Ford Automobile plants. This craft was to become the well known NB3. It was put into manufacture by the Nicholas Beasley Airplane Company. There are two pages extolling the excellence of the NB3. Barling soon felt that another larger ship was in order so he designed the Barling B6. It was built flight tested and made ready for manufacture. In 1931 due to hard times in the business world the plant that was to build the B6 shut down. Barling purchased all the drawings specification lists valuable dies and jigs and had them shipped along with himself and his family to Santa Cruz California. In California he did some consulting work for J. H. McCollough and the two eventually in 1939 decided to form the Barling Aircraft Company. The remaining pages are a plea to investors stating that they can build great numbers of reliable and inexpensive NB3 and 6s. The final two page are marked "Confidential" and are a list of Barling's demands salary etc should some entrepreneur decide to foot the bill and actually fund the Barling Aircraft Company. Apparently William Barling never found a backer and he spent the rest of his life in Santa Cruz where he died in 1965. N.p. unknown

193760496Washington 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.

Do You Want to Fly

19336544Shanghai: The Comacrib Press 1933. First edition. 8vo xii 448 4pp. Copiously illustrated with half-tone photographs sketches and diagrams by Forman. Publisher's pebbled cloth with gilt spine and cover lettering sprayed page edges in illustrated jacket. Spine mottled and faded else very good in jacket which is lacking about 2/3 of the rear panel. First book from the American aviator journalist and war correspondent Harrison Forman 1904-1978. The book is quite detailed and somewhat technical in its language though in his preface Forman states: "It is not the purpose of the author to attempt a technical and exhaustive survey of the field of aviation in the confining limits of the following few chapters. They are designed rather to direct a special appeal to the layman in the aviation world." The text largely centers around Forman's early explorations in China where he sold aircraft to the government and trained pilots. A fascinating and scarce book on aviation with an interesting Shanghai imprint. . The Comacrib Press unknown
