Russell Boardman intended to depart on a transatlantic flight with this aircraft in the weekend of 5 September 1930 but it was severely damaged when catching fire during refuelling at Boston on 4 September (not 2 September). NR761W was rebuilt at a cost of some $25,000 and flew all the way from New York to Istanbul non-stop in July 1931, no longer promoting the 1930 American Legion Convention in Boston.

Aircraft reportedly given in 1930 by roller bearing manufactuer Henry Tinken to his son, who was trained to fly it by Lt Ralph Wickford. Apparently this Tri-Motor won a race for 'transport ships' at the National Air Races in 1931. By July 1933, it was the largest plane owned by Shell and flown on a tour around New England that summer by Maj Ervin and Wickford again, taking Shell distributors, dealers and friends on pleasure flights. It was furnished with six leather and wicker chairs and a large green leather divan. Sold to Colombian air force in 1935. To AN-AAD in Nicaragua, XH-TAI in Honduras.

'First passenger plane to run between Boston and NYC.' Colonial Air Transport was slow to upgrade from Fairchild FC-2 mailplanes to true airliners on the CAM-1 route. Juan Trippe had ordered Fokker Trimotors for Colonial as early as 1925, but he was fired by the conservative board. This Ford first flew on 20 March 1929. The aircraft name worn here was changed just before or after the naming ceremony - see other photos of NC9675. Photo by: Leslie Jones / Boston Public Library

Photo dated July 1929 and Colonial's new Trimotor now wears a smart logo on the tailfin and wingtips. As illustrated by the other photos of N9475, the aircraft name has been changed from Nokomis to Nagomos, or Nacomos according to the only reference we found, but at close inspection the third letter looks like a G here. We have no idea what Nagomos or Nacomos is. NC9675 crashed into Boston Harbor immediately after take-off on 5 June 1930. One passenger was killed. Photo by: Leslie Jones / Boston Public Library

A painter in a Curtiss overall is changing the name of this new Tri-Motor from Nokomis to Nagomos or perhaps Nacomos - see other photos of NC9675. The press reported the plane was christened Nakomis (sic) on Sunday 14 April 1929. The name change was done that very day or the next day. The photo is dated 15 April, but it seems likely that the ladies and the press photographer were present at the naming ceremony. Nokomis is a female Native American name. We have no clue what Nagomos or Nagomos is, but as we see here a name was chosen that required minimal changes. Photo by: Leslie Jones / Boston Public Library

Welcoming the Douglas World Cruisers to Boston. DH-4M-2 aircraft were remanufactured with steel tube fuselage frames by Atlantic Fokker. The autogenous welding technique of Fokker - or rather, his master welder, Reinhold Platz - was still advanced in the early 1920s, and the DH-4 work put the American Fokker factory into business. The badge worn seems to be a winged 1- see photo 649971. Photo by: Leslie Jones / Boston Public Library

Colonial Western Airways operated the Sikorsky S-38 between Albany and Cleveland. In 1928 it became a division of the Colonial Airways Corporation holding, together with Colonial Air Transport and Canadian Colonial Airways, but all three airlines continued to operate under their own names. Colonial Western was fully merged into American Airways in March 1931. That same month this amphibian was used for rescue work following the sinking of an old sealing ship, SS Viking, off the Horse Islands, Newfoundland, during a movie shoot. The famous Bernt Balchen piloted the aircraft after speeding to Boston by train. Photo by: Leslie Jones / Boston Public Library

The US Navy acquired five COA-1 amphibians from the US Army. Receiving the OL-2 designation, they were intended for the 1925 MacMillan Arctic Expedition, with Richard Byrd leading an aviation element of three Loenings: NA-1, NA-2 and NA-3. NA-3 arrived at Squantum on 11 June 1925 and the photo is assumed taken that day. The pilot was Floyd Bennett. Byrd liked Bennett and put him in NA-1. The following year they headed for the North Pole together in a civilian Fokker F.VIIa-3m, Josephine Ford, which Byrd had coded BA-1. Photo by: Leslie Jones / Boston Public Library

Donald MacMillan (1874-1970), standing on the float, made over 30 expeditions to the Arctic. In 1931 he used this white and orange Vega on an air survey and photo expedition to Labrador and Greenland, sponsored by Multicolor film. Built as an L-1 Vega in 1929, the plane had first been used by an operator in Montana. After MacMillan it had many owners. In the 1960s it was used for movie work by Paul Mantz and Frank Tallman, and registered N965Y to play Amelia Earhart's Vega NC965Y. It is preserved in the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn.

August 1953 and kids are allowed to climb on this F-84C. The Boston Daily Globe of 8 August 1953 does not confirm there was an airshow, but does carry an article on the 102nd Fighter Interceptor Wing of the Massachusetts ANG, with a photo showing probably the same F-84. The unit had been 'stripped of jets' three years earlier, because these 'early model jets were lacking in performance' and 'difficult to service, too'. Wikipedia says the wing flew F-84Bs and then Mustangs again until they were replaced by the F-94 Starfire in 1954. Photo by: Edmund Mitchell / Boston Public Library

The first Santa Maria, MM45043, flew from Italy to New Orleans via Brazil but burnt in Arizona. This replacement aircraft was shipped to New York and headed north to Boston on 8 May 1927. But this was merely a test flight or a gesture to the Italian community in Boston, for Francesco de Pinedo did not skip the stretch between New Orleans and New York. He flew back south along the coast to New Orleans, and then to Chicago via the Mississippi, rather than via the US west coast as originally planned. Then he flew back to Europe via Newfoundland and the Azores. Photo by: Leslie Jones / Boston Public Library

The DT torpedo bomber won Douglas its first military contract, beating the Fokker FT (T.II). This photo is captioned 'Navy plane off USS Wright' and was perhaps taken in December 1927 when the seaplane tender Wright visited Boston. The last DT apparently served until 1928.

Although designated Curtiss Scout, the CS was a scout and torpedo bomber designed by the US Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics. CS became SC in the Navy's post-1923 designation system. Only eight CS-1 and CS-2 aircraft, including A-6504, were built by Curtiss. 75 more SC-1s and SC-2s were built by Martin, and the design evolved into the Martin T3M. By mid-1927, the SC was only still in use with a training unit at NAS Pensacola. Photo by: Leslie Jones / Boston Public Library

The original designation of the OU observation aircraft was UO, with the letter U allocated to Vought. In the US Navy's post-1923 designation system the letters were reversed. Fitted out as a seaplane the type used a larger tailfin than as a landplane. Photo by: Leslie Jones / Boston Public Library
