197962536Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 1979. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. Good. No dust jacket as issued. v 500 p. 23 cm. Illustrations. 96-6. The purpose of the hearings was to review the proposal of the Federal Aviation Administration to significantly increase the amount of air space subject to mandatory traffic control. Under the FAA proposals the high altitude positive control areas would be lowered from 18 000 feet to 10 000 feet. In the areas around busy airports an additional 44 mandatory terminal control areas would be established. Since the FAA published its proposals the Congress had been flooded with mail mostly in opposition to the proposals. The hearings thus provided the FAA with an opportunity to clarify its proposal and the rationale behind it and also to give supporters and opponents a chance to express their positions and to suggest alternatives.

This fascinating photographic proof book provides historic images of the first transcontinental private “Air Tour†following World War II and the lifting of aviation restrictions at the end of the War. With 1000s of returning fliers from the United States armed forces with flying experience Americans began taking to the skies in record numbers. Participants were able upon their return later to Portland OR go to the photographer’s studio and pick out which images they would like to purchase and add to their own souvenir books. On May 21 1949 the Portland Oregon Chamber of Commerce had organized an air tour which was similar to those which had heavily promoted civil aviation in the 1920s and 1930s from Portland OR across the continent to Portland Maine. Fifty-five aircraft plus a US Air Force C-47 assembled at Troutdale Airport and took off surrounded by the Chamber of Commerce Aviation Committee. Ackroyd 1913-2012 noted aviation commercial photographer and aerial aficionado was contracted along with KGW Radio’s director of public events Bob Tomlinson and Earl Peterson technical supervisor to document the historic tour. These images show the 55 planes parked across the tarmac participants eating and loading their planes appearances by representatives from the 1949 Pendleton Round-Up including cowboys and Native Americans in native dress and the decidedly cramped quarters inside a few of the larger aircraft. Peterson and Tomlinson are shown setting up their equipment and broadcasting campy skits featuring the Grants Pass air club members in cave man costumes “kidnapping†and carrying off female members others in pirate costumes along with a tour of a B-29 superfortress. There are photos of aircraft taking off and landing at airports in Salt Lake City UT Cheyenne WY Wichita KS Indianapolis IN Akron OH Lock-Haven PA including the Portland Rose Festival plane float planes with all finally reaching Portland ME on May 28 1949. Upon arrival there was a huge lobster feast party featuring a map decorated cake and the fliers were met by Portland ME officials and Governor Frederick G. Payne. Ackroyd shows the welcome banners airport and the planting of gift roses in front of the Portland ME sign. Of particular interest are the series of aerial photos over Manhattan and the other boroughs of New York City in 1949. Ackroyd was a Canadian photographer who began shooting photos at the age of 16 in British Columbia moved to Hollywood where he shot celebrity portraits but eventually moved to Portland OR before World War II and began shooting pictures of ships and barges for Gunderson Inc. and Shaver Transportation Co. He was adept at aerial photography and was well known for his images of Mt. Hood and the Columbia River Gorge from the air.
