US Army TC-5 Zeppelin Airship Program 1933 Scott Field IL Real Photograph Lot 2





US Army TC-5 Zeppelin Airship Program 1933 Scott Field IL Real Photograph Lot 2. This is a lot of two real photographs for an airship program at Scott Field, Illinois in 1933. The photo with airship reads, ” Christmas Program Scott Field, IL 1933″ and, Lieut Col. Kennedy Commanding, Paul B. Look closely on zeppelin and you can read “TC-5″. This is an Army airship and it is flying over Scott Field hanger. A line of bi-wing planes is flying over the airship! I believe the planes were used to wrangle the zeppelin. The other photo came with the Program cover photo and has the same boarder and was probably part of the program. It shows part of Scott Field and hanger building. The TC-5 was designed for coastal patrol duty and was the first of its kind to land at East Boston Airport. This is a RARE item. These are real photos… My photos are of the actual item you are getting. See our store for other interesting Zeppelin photo item at Lambert Field.

US Navy Airship Shenandoah ZR-1 Zeppelin Lambert Field 1923 Real Photo 7 READ




US Navy Airship Shenandoah ZR-1 Zeppelin Lambert Field 1923 Real Photo 7 READ. This is a real photo of US Navy Airship ZR-1 Shenandoah at Lambert Field (Missouri) 1923 that measures 7 1/4″ x 4 1/4″. The back has writing, One of the Navy’s Great Zeppelins… Believe this to be ZR-1 Shenandoah ZR-1 at Lambert Field 1923. 1925 due to structural failure while in line squalls in Caldwell, Ohio killing half the crew (14 men). It made first crossing of North America by airship. It’s length was 680 ft and height 93 feet 2. It was helium filled and when it crashed it broke in two. This is a RARE real photo of a Zeppelin that was only around a couple years. Look closely at building in background which help id Lambert Field and also see the tents out there. The quality of photo is great. I assume this was taken by Navy in plane and not a snapshot due to height and view…. And this was 1923! My photos are of the actual item you are getting.

1920’s US Sailor’s Photo Album 109 Real Photo PC’s Panama Canal, Hawaii, Ships













This is a US sailor’s photo album with 109 real photo postcards. The first 2 photos are of Captain F. Naile and the USS Pyro. I learned that a Frederick Raymond Naile served on the USS Pyro from 1922 until 1924. The postcards all have the Azo stampbox on the back which dates from 1918 to 1930. A few of the photos have brief descriptions written under them, and some have handwritten titles that are part of the photo. There is no name for the sailor who compiled the album or details of his service. Some of the cards may have been commercially published, but many looks like they were made from original photos taken by the sailor. There are also 2 cards from Alcatraz, one of the Philadelphia Naval Yard, the Chapel at West Point and an observation balloon. I’ve taken out of the album and listed separately album pages with photos of the 1923 Honda Point California disaster where 7 Navy destroyers were wrecked and some photos and rppc’s of San Diego. She was decommissioned in 1924 and recommissioned in 1939 – she was one of the ships which survived the attack at Pearl Harbor. There are 2 other photos identified by the sailor as taken on the Pyro – one of the deck, and a very faded photo of the 2 dog mascots. The Panama Canal cards include the Gatun Locks, Emergency Locks, Pedro Miguel, Miraflores Gates, Culebra Cut and the Pacific entrance. Other Panama cards include the Taboga Island, Pearl Islands, El Vigia Village, ruins left by pirate Henry Morgan in 1671, Canal Administration building, hospital and the Leper Colony. I’m not sure if the sailor was stationed in Panama or if he just went through the canal going from the West to East Coast. The cards vary in quality – some are very sharp and clear, a few are blurry, and others very pale. The black paper tabs have stuck to the cards. I was able to remove them from several cards that I took out of the album, but it’s a tedious job that left slight traces of black behind. Several of the cards are apart from the page.

The unit was redesigned the 102nd Observation Squadron on January 23, 1923. This squadron can trace its history back to a group formed by aviation enthusiasts in the NY National Guard in April 1908. They became the 1st Aero Company on November 1,1915 and became the first National Guard unit in aviation and to be pressed into federal service on July 13, 1916 for use in the Mexican Punitive Expedition. When the United States entered World War I, all National Guard aviation units were dissolved. New York’s 1st Aero Company was no different and it was disbanded on May 23, 1917. The founder of the unit, Captain Raynall Cawthorne Bolling and almost all of the members of the unit left the National Guard to join the Army Signal Corps Reserve and in May 1917 founded the 1st Aero Reserve squadron. That unit was sent to France in August 1917 and designated 26th Aero Squadron. Its personnel and aircraft formed the basis for an aviation school and maintenance unit. After the war, a group of veteran pilots initiated the formation of an Aero Club, which became the 102nd.
