Cecil Allen & Donald Moyle Trans-Pacific Flight., 1931.
Scope and Contents
This subseries comprises materials relating to air meets, air shows, and historic flights between 1910 and 1958. Materials for the Los Angeles Aviation Meet, held at Dominguez Hills in January 1910, include printed official programs, an entry ticket stub, and a sheet of paper signed by many of the pioneer aviators in attendance. The materials also include extensive original records of the 1931 transpacific flight by Cecil Allen and Donald Moyle, including portions of the flight log, telegrams, and the manuscript of Allen's account of the flight. A transcript of Allen's manuscript was prepared by David Kuhner, librarian at Sprague Library, for use by Carl M. Cleveland in his planned book on Pacific flights. The materials also include an illustrated compte rendu of the 1921 Salon de l'aéronautique, two United States Air Force press kits, including photographs, prepared for the 22nd Salon international de l'aéronautique in 1957, and a press kit for the 19th Society of British Aircraft Constructors Flying Display and Exhibition at Farnborough in 1958.
