Lindbergh Photographs
1927,
1983,
1993
(bulk 1927).
Physical Description: 5 folders.
Series Scope and Content
Thirteen photographs and accompanying documentation relating to Charles A.
Lindbergh's stay in Paris after his 1927 trans-Atlantic flight. The
photographs include several formal group photographs of Lindbergh with
prominent European aviators such as Bleriot and Herrick; the remaining
photographs document the dismantling, for inspection and shipping back to
the United States, of the "Spirit of St. Louis" by the Vacuum Oil Co.
The photographs appear to be additional prints of photographs appearing in
the book
Le premier vol de New York-Paris par le
colonel Ch. A. Lindbergh
([Paris:] A. J. Ganon Relieur, 1927), a
bound folio volume of 75 photographs mounted on card stock. Thirteen copies
of the volume were produced and distributed by the Vacuum Oil Co., which had
sponsored Lindbergh's flight. One of these volumes was given to Henry Lowe
Brownback by Henri Pagny, an official of the Vacuum Oil Co. in France. The
correspondence in this series concerns the gift of this copy by Mrs. Mina
Brownback Hayn, through the offices of Floyd Markham, to the Ryan
Aeronautical Library and the San Diego Aerospace Museum in 1983.
Ault's possession of this correspondence strongly suggests that the
photographs were also originally in the possession of Henry Lowe Brownback,
and passed, most probably as duplicates, to Ault from Mina Brownback Hayn
through Floyd Markham.
Ault received a reproduction of each photograph at the time of his gift, and
the collection includes a copy negative of each photograph.
The material is arranged as follows: correspondence, photographs (further
arranged by the number marked on the back of each photograph), and copy
negatives

Series 2.
Photographs and other materials to illustrate
By the Seat of Their Pants
1783-1978
(bulk 1900-1950).
Physical Description: 34 folders.
Series Scope and Content
Photographs and other materials used to illustrate Phillip H. Ault,
By the Seat of Their Parts; The Story of Early
Aviation
(New York: Dodd, Mead, c1978). The bulk of the material
concerns the history of aviation in the United States from 1900 to 1950,
with special emphasis on the Wright brothers, barnstormers, the first flight
around the world in 1924, early air mail carriers, Charles Lindbergh, the
Dole Derby of 1927, Amelia Earhart, and Douglas "Wrong-Way" Corrigan.
The material consists primarily of photographic reproductions, most prepared
between 1960 and 1977. A substantial number of these were obtained from the
David D. Hatfield Collection, American Hall of Aviation History, Northrop
University (now in the Museum of Flight in Seattle), and in the Bell
Collection, Mentone, Indiana (formerly Bell Aircraft Corporation, Buffalo,
New York; now Lawrence D. Bell Aircraft Museum, Mentone). Additional
photographs and other materials were obtained from American Airlines; the
Aviation Hall of Fame, Dayton, Ohio; British Airways; Flint Journal, Flint,
Michigan; General Dynamics, Convair Division [materials now in the San Diego
Aerospace Museum]; Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, Michigan; Honolulu
Advertiser; Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.; Lockheed Aircraft
Corporation; Northern Indiana Historical Society; Pan American World
Airways; Santa Ana Register, Santa Ana, California; Ryan Aeronautical
Library [now part of the San Diego Aerospace Museum], San Diego, California;
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; South Bend Tribune, South Bend,
Indiana; Star Bulletin, Honolulu, Hawaii; and United Airlines. The series
includes copies of nine photographs--including seven not published in Ault's
work--from Amelia Earhart's
20 Hours 40
Minutes
(1928).
The series contains four original photographs from the following sources:
- Ault Photo Studio - folder 12, item 2
- Lloyd S. Taylor - folder 9, items 3 and 4; folder 10, item 4
It is not known whether there was any relationship between Phillip H. Ault
and the Ault Photo Studio.
Other materials include two maps specially drawn for Ault's book, as well as
biographical sketches, each with a reproduction of a pencil portrait sketch
by Milton Caniff, of 15 members of the Aviation Hall of Fame, Dayton,
Ohio.
Arrangement
The material is arranged by format, as follows: photographs used by Ault in
his book; photographs not used by Ault in his book; photographic negatives;
maps; and printed matter. Within each format, the material is further
arranged by the order in which it appears in Ault's book. Oversize material
has been transferred to Box 2, where it is arranged in the same order. The
boldface numbers in [] brackets before each
entry give the illustration number and the number of the page of
By the Seat of Their Pants on which the
photograph is reproduced, as indicated on the back of each photograph in the
form "#..., p. ..."
