Coming out of maintenance here in Los Angeles, this early Convairliner crashed on take-off from Palm Springs on a Las Vegas - Palm Springs - San Diego service on 13 February 1958. The right wing leading edge came off. The aircraft landed in the desert at high speed and hit some boulders. It caught fire and some of the 18 passengers were seriously injured.

The abortive East German jetliner often called the Baade 152 had its origins in Junkers jet bomber projects and the 150 bomber, designed by German engineers detained in the USSR. Development took place at Flugzeugwerke Dresden - note that the company name is not VEB, which only meant People-Owned Enterprise. The first flight was on 4 December 1958 but DM-ZYA crashed on 4 March 1959 on only its second flight. The second prototype DM-ZYB flew just once in 1960. Note that the East German flag was identical to the West German flag until 1959. Photo from: SLUB / Deutsche Fotothek

LM233 seen here with 32 mission marks. There is a later photo of it with 60 missions completed. LM233 was damaged at Waddington on March 5, 1945 and unlikely to have been repaired this late in the war. Was based at Bottesford prior to Waddington. 467 Squadron was an Australian one, hence the kangaroo. LM233 was scrapped in 1947. Photo from: State Library of Queensland

Wonderful photograph from La Paz airport, elevation 4061 m (13,325 ft). NC28335 was registered in August 1941. By the late 1940s Panagra had an updated livery. N28335 upgraded to Hi-Per DC-3 in the 1950s to improve performance at high-altitude airports. To Faucett as OB-PBK-55 in 1960. Photo from: SFO Museum

What became of this 1940 DC-3 is unclear. It may have been leased to the US Navy as BuNo 99099, which is listed as lost over spurious 'Yamagaga in North Pacific' on 16 February 1944. NC25643 cancelled in July 1944. Alternatively it went to Mexico as XA-CAM. Photo from Clyde Smith, Pan Am station manager in Fairbanks, and probably taken at old Weeks Field which could be used by DC-3s 'with caution'. At times of bad conditions, airlines were allowed to use Ladd Army Airfield from 1940. Photo from: SFO Museum

Marine Airways was formed in Juneau in July 1936 and NC196N arrived in August. In 1939, Marine Airways and Alaska Air Transport joined forces, but their new name Alaska Coastal Airlines was not used until 1941 it seems. Photo taken on the Juneau waterfront, very close to the current seaplane base. NC196N operated on wheels occasionally and here they are about to hoist it up to put the floats back on. NC196N was called 'Shaky Jake' as it suffered from a persistent vibration. Nevertheless, it served the people of Juneau for over 30 years. It was preserved in Canada as CF-ATN.

Used for aerial survey with Adastra until 1947 when it was condemned due to the Betel glue used during construction of the wing.

Flying over the campus of Parks College at KCPS. The school moved into St Louis in 1996. This Parks P-2A was manufactured here in 1929, although assembly was by Detroit Aircraft which marketed the P-2A as the Ryan Speedster for a while. During the 1960s this airframe was owned by modern barnstormer and writer Richard Bach. Photo by: Jim Schroeder / Saint Louis University

Sponsored by The Elks Magazine, four Studebaker President cars drove from NY to LA in 1929 and this plane, painted in the purple and white Elks colours, apparently made an associated "Coast to Coast Flight'. The P-2 was a development of the P-1 with an Axelson radial and top wing ailerons removed - similar changes as on the Fairchild KR-34 which was based on the same design. The P-2A version had a Wright J-6 Whirlwind. A lighter model of 1932 was the P-1H, powered by a 100-hp Kinner radial and produced by Hammond Aircraft as the Hammond 100 Sportster.

Bomber model of Ford 5-AT-C with curious XB-906 designation. Single-pilot cockpit, two dorsal open gun positions, internal bomb racks. Markings have a military look, but the reg is civil and the photo is assumed taken at Dearborn as the aircraft crashed near the Ford airport during factory testing on 19 September 1931. Both wings detached after a steep turn at high speed. Ford chief test pilot Roy Manning and a mechanic killed. No series production undertaken. Photo from: National Museum of the US Air Force

The first Tri-Motor for the US Army Air Corps, an early 4-AT-A. Ex NC3444, it arrived at Wright Field on 8 February 1928, then officially designated as the XC-3. Remained in service until July 1932. By 1931 it no longer wore code P-506. The Army ordered seven 4-AT-Es as C-3As, later modified to C-9 standard. The sole C-4 was a 5-AT-B model and was followed by four 5-AT-Ds as C-4As. There was also a bomber prototype called XB-906, civil reg NX9652. Photo from: US Air Force

The UAL Mainliner is framed with the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island, which only looked like this during the 1939-1940 Golden Gate International Exposition. No Pan Am flying boats are visible in the Clipper Cove between the two islands. Treasure Island was to become a land airport after the fair, but became a naval facility instead. NC16087 flew for UAL until 1955. As PI-C942 it crashed in the Philippines in 1965. Photo from: SFO Museum

One of the few good photographs available of the B-60, ordered originally as a B-36 Peacemaker variant. Only the first prototype was flown, 20 times by Convair from 18 April 1952 and just four times by the US Air Force in January 1953. It is seen here over Kramer Junction near Edwards AFB. The USAF cancelled the B-60 already in August 1952 as the B-52 was way superior. Photo from: US Air Force

The Parks P-1 was a licensed copy of the Kreider-Reisner Challenger, which itself became the Fairchild KR-34. The P-1 retained the original WWI vintage OX-5 engine and 45 P-1s were built at Cahokia, across the Mississippi from Saint Louis. Oliver Parks founded Parks Air College here in 1927. Photo dated 'circa 1929'. NC353K was registered between 1929 and 1936. Photo from: Saint Louis University
