Opening day of the Grand Central Air Terminal. Parked behind are NC7118 (fleet number 6), NC5577 (4) and probably NC7119 (7). Maddux Air Lines started operations in Sep 1927, and merged into Transcontinental Air Transport (T-A-T) in Nov 1929. Photo by: John Underwood / Glendale Public Library

Only two aircraft made it from California to Hawaii in the tragic Dole Air Race. Seven crashed before or during the race. Miss Doran disappeared in the Pacific without trace, carrying pilot Augy Pedlar, navigator Vilas Knope and the brave passenger, Mildred Doran. There was no radio on board. The name Miss Doran was worn frontally. Photo from: California State Library

The age of the mono-mailplane! On the right is a Northrop Alpha 4A, NC933Y, with Quality Hill in Kansas City in the background. NC12283 was delivered to TWA in May 1933. In 1935, after an accident, the Babb company rebuilt it, against the manufacturer's advice, with a Lockheed Explorer wing for Wiley Post. The hybrid, NR12283, crashed near Point Barrow, Alaska on 15 August 1935, taking the lives of Post and actor Will Rogers. Photo from: Jackson County Historical Society

The Wedell-Williams 44 was a successful racing aircraft of the early 1930s. NR536V was piloted by both Jim Haizlip and his wife May, then the fastest woman in the world. They were based in St Louis where the photo should have been taken. The other Model 44 is NR61Y/121, the Gilmore Red Lion of Roscoe Turner.

The Helicopter Engineering Research Corporation (HERC) of Pennsylvania was formed by former Piasecki engineers Drago Jovanovich and Frank Kozloski to build the JOV-3 two-seater. It was the predecessor of the McCulloch MC-4, later turned into the Jovair 4. Early helicopter advertising photographs are fascinating stuff. This one is rather odd, as it looks like the pilot is being flagged down to be breathalyzed! Photo from: Vertical Flight Society

The YUH-61 was Boeing Vertol's unsuccessful competitor to Sikorsky's Black Hawk. The need to fit in a C-130 was even more appararent in this design.

First flown tethered on 15 February 1954, the XV-1 'gyrodyne' or 'convertiplane' had a piston engine that could be coupled to the propeller in flight, but powered compressors that fed air to burners on rotor tips for VTOL. Two small tail rotors were added to improve yaw authority during hovering flight. The second of two XV-1s, 53-4017, was the first rotorcraft to exceed 200 mph (320 km/h) but the propulsion system was found to be too complex. Photo from: Vertical Flight Society
