INCOMPLETE

On May 11, 1928, Julius von der Heyden was living at 11 Lincoln Park, Newark, NJ. This information comes from the Department of Commerce Aeronautical form for the Application for Identification Mark for his purchase of Travel Air Model 2000, NC4834, SN 418, from W. H. Emory, I believe a Travel Air dealer in Bradford, PA.

On July 10, 1928, he transferred ownership of the airplane to Mildred von der Heyden. At that time the airplane had 80 hours on it. On September 18, 1928, she sold the airplane to Leslie Miller (of \"Millerized OX-5 fame) of Los Angeles. On September 4, 1928, when Julius von der Heyden landed at Davis-Monthan Airfield, apparently for gas, it was likely a ferry flight of some sort to Los Angeles, perhaps to deliver the airplane to Leslie Miller who may have been in the process of buying it. Mr. Miller owned several OX-5 Travel Airs during this period.

[This information supplied by Brian Dalton, Dallas Oregon, January 28, 2006, the owner of NC4834 since 1976. It is still flying.]
