Shell's attractive Lockheed Orion, flown by Jimmy Doolittle. It was built in Detroit in 1931 as a DL-2A Altair with a metal fuselage. Used as a mailplane by TWA. Following an accident, it was rebuilt as an L-9C in 1932 and sold to Shell. Damaged in 1936, then sold to Paul Mantz for air racing in 1938. The only surviving Orion, it was eventually preserved in Lucerne, Switzerland as "CH-167". Does anyone recognize this airport? On the right is probably a 'Visiting Ships' hangar.

The Bendix Model K prototype initially flew with an uncovered fuselage and later with a fully enclosed, egg-shaped fuselage. By January 1947 it was in this form, with an open cockpit. Oddly the Model K and the larger Model J were apparently both named Whirlaway. Bendix Helicopter closed its doors in 1949. NX41817 then went to NACA for rotor research work according to a NASA document. An end date for this is not known to us. Photo from: NASA Langley

The Fairchild 45 was a five-seat executive aircraft first flown in 1935. It was comfortable and easy to fly, yet only 16 F-45A series aircraft were built. One of these, NC16365, was sold to the US Navy as a JK-1. It was used by Rear Admiral King at Anacostia and later on the American west coast at North Island and Alameda. During WWII two more F-45As were impressed as JK-1s and two by the US Army as UC-88s. Fairchild took over Kreidner-Reisner Aircraft at Hagerstown in 1929. Fairchild moved there itself in 1931 and supposedly the Kreider-Reisner name disappeared in 1934. Photo from: Smithsonian Institution

Life's photos from the Long Island Aviation Club are all dated 1937. For most pictures this is credible, with many of the planes new that year and the F-4 Sea Bird, NX16793, sold as CF-BGZ in September. However, a photo of a blackboard with the club's fleet shows dates up to June 1938, so it seems that Eisenstaedt visited twice. NC17177 was cancelled in July 1938 so we put that as the end date for some of the shots. It was last registered to Leech Aircraft of Westchester Airport, NY, which was a Stinson dealer. The fate of this Reliant is unclear. Photo by: Alfred Eisenstaedt / Life

Delivered in January 1937 to Roger Wolfe Kahn (1907-1962), jazz musician, composer, and Grumman test pilot! In 1941 he acquired a G-44 Widgeon, also NC1700. The L-10 was impressed as a C-36A, 42-38341, in 1942, but written off within a few months. The second aircraft is a rare Fairchild 45A, NC16864, and next is the Fleetwings F-4 Sea Bird, NX16793.

45 TRS was the only USAF squadron to operate the RF-51D in Korea, although the squadron also had regular F-51Ds. The F-51D had camera ports in the rear fuselage and the pilot could also record what he saw using an AN/AMQ-1A voice recorder. B-26 Invaders in the background. From August 1952 the squadron replaced its RF-51Ds with RF-80 Shooting Stars. 44-84778 is listed as written off on 14 October 1952. Photo probably taken at Taegu or Kimpo.

This rescue helicopter is listed as written off after an accident at Walker AFB, New Mexico on 27 May 1950, but it must have been repaired, because this photo is from the Korean War as other pictures of H-5Gs, undergoing open-air maintenance in the background, show more conclusively.
