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.

The first of these was designated Aerodrome No. 0 and proved a failure. The second machine Aerodrome No. 1 was powered by a carbonic acid gas and later by compressed air. Aerodrome No. 2 also built in 1891 was also a disappointment. Aerodrome No. 3 1892 was of stronger construction and was modified a number of times. A better means of heating the steam was tested on Aerodrome No. 3 and was a decided improvement and was incorporated into Aerodrome No. 4. By the end of 1893 Aerodrome No. 4 was ready for testing and a launching device atop a house boat was built. </em> unknown
