191960735Great Lakes Chicago & Waukegan IL: Naval Aviation Training School L. Blakemore Isaack Wallenstein & Western Photo Studio Photographers ca. 1919-1921. Oblong atlas folio. 21.5 x 9 in. 43 leaves unnumbered. on thick black paper stock. With 52 original silver gelatin photos tipped-in sized from 5 x 7 in. up to 19 x 8 in. 36 panoramas sized from 18 x 3 in. up to 19 x 18 in. some w/ photographer’s imprint w/in negative at lower fore-edge some captioned all tipped-in. Contemporary Spruce plywood post-binder covers same as wood used for spars and biplane bodies in World War I rounded corners piano hinge front joint gilt decorative lettering & logo on front cover minor scuffing shelfwear still VG exemplar. This outstanding souvenir album depicts the height of the vital Naval Aviation Training School which provided essential technical expertise and training to entire generations of Naval Aviators and Naval aviation mechanics and carpenters through World War I and beyond. Founded originally in 1904 when a board appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt selected two farms of north of Lake Bluff IL as a training station which originally covered 172 acres. By Armistice Day at the end of World War I the facility had expanded to 1200 acres and over 45000 men underwent training. Of particular interest in this album are the 36 panoramic photographs documenting Naval Aviator and Naval Aviation mechanic classes for the 15th Regiment and 1st Battalion 15th Regiment from 1919-1920 as well as class rooms machine shops for aviation mechanics and Naval instructors. Others encompass the cutaway model Aviation engines with instructional charts on the surrounding wals the carpenter’s shop with aviation machinery jigs on work benches and airline bodies under construction. One photo depicts the Motor Laboratory Steam Laboratory and Equipment from the USS Eagle 25 at the Aviation Mechanics’ School a US Navy patrol boat which had sunk in a storm in June 1920 and then been raised and sold off as a hulk by Dec. 1921. Other panoramic photos capture the Riggers’ School classroom at Great lakes with full scale biplanes and seaplanes scale model dirigible the Coppersmith School classroom the Fittings classroom with airplane propellers hanging from the walls dip baths for machined parts and nickel plate coating and several of the Naval Aviation School football baseball and other sporting teams including the largest panorama of the Inter-Training Station Baseball championship team from Great Lakes. Wallenstein 1861-1958 was a longtime Chicago photographer through the first four decades of the 20th Century who operated his studio out of his 3928 N. Kenneth home and specialized in panoramic photographs. Western Photo Studio in Waukegan IL appears to have been short-lived as the Waukegan IL directories from 1918-1921 do not list the business but possibly connected with the Western Union Telegraph offices as the address was interchangeable. Volpe 1885-1950 began working in New York originally as a bookbinder before enlisting as an aviation mechanic with the US Navy in 1910 assigned originally to the newly formed ground school in Pensacola and later became Chief Warrant Officer Pilot Airman and Instructor who oversaw the Naval Aviation Training School from 1918-1921. He was also the assistant Athletic officer for baseball and tennis at the base. Naval Aviation Training School, L. Blakemore, Isaack Wallenstein, & Western Photo Studio (Photographers), unknown

Steven B.aker Hagadorn 1920-2007 who was serving during the Korean War at the U.S. Naval Air Station Ocean City New Jersey in 1950-1954. First edition of this exceedingly scarce manual written to train and educate Navy Balloonists before the U.S. entered World War I after the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company secured a contract to train 20 men in free ballooning in May 1917. This work describes the free balloon how to construct and use various parts of the balloon details the physical properties of gases used for lift the physics behind the gases and atmosphere preparations for flight the proper methods of handling the balloon in the air as well as on the ground as well as advising the balloonist to exercise care in using gasoline to remove oil from balloon fabrics by avoiding the seams because it will cause the seam to deteriorate. The illustrations and photos at the end show a balloon being laid out for inflation inflated setting the sandbags rigging and ascension of the balloon. The Jan. 28 1918 typescript by Lieut. Comm. Teed specifically outlines the technical advantages and uses of employing hydrogen in the free balloons with specific equations and calculations for volume lift and more. Goodyear had established its Aeronautics Department in 1910 to market rubber impregnated fabrics and coatings for airplanes and lighter-than-air craft and began buildings its first balloons in 1912. In 1916 Goodyear bought 720 acres of land southeast of Akron to serve as their flying school and manufacturing site. Around the same time they began building their first airship in March 1917 they were also negotiating for a contract with the government to train balloonists for the Navy. Of particular interest in this work are the presence of the original manuscript “Free Balloon Log Sheets†documenting free flights starting in Winfoot Lake OH and landing in East Lewistown Homeworth Youngstown & Minerva OH; Sagerstown & Hallston PA Columbia Station. Several of the sheets note weather conditions flight altitudes how they landed and manuscript observations taken during the flights. Roth 1885-1950 was a noted sport balloonist before and after World War I up through the 1930s was a balloon instructor during World War I for Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and also was a pilot in the U.S. National Balloon race in 1930.

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. . .

107816Fine. The sepia-toned print image size 232 × 289 mm is behind glass in its original timber frame 425 × 475 mm; the window mat is wood-grained possibly cut from a veneer sheet. Remnants of the contemporary Adelaide framer's label 'Dimond Bros' are on the verso along with the pencilled details of the job. Small scratch to the bottom portion of the image; one tiny spot; otherwise in fine condition. The framer's pencilled notes indicate that the original client's name was Butler almost certainly Harry Butler himself during his brief years in Adelaide between the war and his early death in 1924. An article from the Adelaide 'Advertiser' for Tuesday 21 May 1946 records Butler's own description of this scene in a pencilled note dated 2 February 1918 uncovered on the verso of another example of this photograph. 'It was taken by our school photographer as I was on a Bristol Fighter about sunset to do a submarine patrol. You notice the Christmas card-looking island in the distance. That is known as Ailsa Craige in fact Ailsa Craig and is about halfway between here and Belfast'. <p>'Harry Butler 1889-1924 showed his enthusiasm and aptitude for mechanics by building models of primitive aircraft while still at school in Koolywurtie; he later accorded farm-work a lower priority than collaboration with a neighbour and lifelong mentor S.C. Crawford in building and flying one of Australia's early aeroplanes. Among the February 1915 candidates Butler alone gained entrance as an aeromechanic to the Australian Flying School at Point Cook Victoria. Commissioned three weeks after joining the Royal Flying Corps in 1916 he became fighting-instructor at Turnberry Scotland in 1917 and chief fighting-instructor at No. 2 Yorkshire School of Aerial Fighting in 1918. He alternated teaching with studying German aerial combat tactics over France and he received the Air Force Cross in 1918' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. <p>Our thanks to Mr Les Parsons for providing us with many important details regarding this image. unknown
