10/27/09 News of the video of Bill Piper, Jr. is placed on the Piper Museum Web site as follows. Thanks to Beth Piper, Tim Yoho and Forney Miller for sharing their film with us, and for linking to dmairfield.org. That notice follows.

"This short film clip appears on The Davis-Monthan Aviation Field Register Web page and was provided by Elizabeth Piper, widow of William Piper Jr. The film was converted for use by Gary W. Hyatt, Webmaster and creator of the DM Airfield page. Gary's aim is to publish and celebrate the people, aircraft, places and events that were recorded between 1925 and 1936 in the old Davis-Monthan Airfield Register.   The Home Page of the Register describes their purpose:

"From the Register stems all manner and direction of United States aeronautical development. The people, aircraft, places and events recorded there, and now available for you to see and learn from, helped spawn the intellectual and physical infrastructures of global aviation technologies, in peace and in war, during the 20th century. It is not an overstatement to say they formed the ideas, performed the actions, and served as loci from which, in many significant ways, we enter our second century of powered flight.

"The Piper Aviation Museum thanks Gary Hyatt and the Davis-Monthan Aviation Field Register for providing this film of William Piper, Jr. for you to enjoy.

Watch clip of Lindbergh arriving in Tucson

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 09.09.2007

Your Webmaster in 1930s Aviator Garb

Pure luck and a family's generosity have given us a treasure: a short clip of Charles A. Lindbergh's arrival and reception in Tucson on Sept. 23, 1927.

However, the clip, at www.dmairfield.org/flvs/lindbergh/lindbergh.html, is but a small slice of Tucson history filmed from about 1916 to the late 1920s by John Pheiffer. Watch it HERE.

"He was my dad's stepfather," says Tucson contractor Les Wolf, who discovered eight reels filmed by Pheiffer after his widow — Wolf's grandmother — died in 1988.

"We opened a steamer trunk and inside was a camera, a projector and eight reels of film, stored in mothballs."

Wolf got a friend who knew how to operate the projector. Among the footage: the building of the Temple of Music and Art, which opened in 1927, and the first Tucson rodeo, held in 1925.

Wolf donated the camera and projector to the Arizona Historical Society and the film to the city archives — on the condition that video cassettes were made for the family and for Tucson television stations.

"We appreciate that people enjoy it," says Wolf, who revisits the films from time to time.”

MAY, 2007 The book review at left was printed in the Newsletter (#159, Second Quarter, 2007) of the American Aviation Historical Society. Special thanks to reviewer Butler.

I got a chuckle out of his comment that the book is, "...somewhat limited ... as a research tool because of the need to manually cross-reference the data from page to page...."

In fact, the three chapters of alphabetically and numerically ranked tables I put in the book make the Register INFINITELY MORE EASY to use than NOT having the tables.

It was that primary difficulty of trying to remember where I had previously seen an airplane or pilot listed as I thumbed through the Register that led me to write the database (from which the three chapters of tables are derived) in the first place: to make it EASIER to find and return to repetitive entries by pilots, passengers and aircraft.

Be that as it may, reviewer Butler is right on when he recommends to use the book, "...in conjunction with..." this Web site. Doing so you'll discover about 600 pilot biographies and aircraft technical descriptions, as well as descriptions of some of the places the pilots and aircraft called home. This number is increasing monthly, with the goal of eventually having all 3,704 landings researched and documented online.

Please order a copy of the Register yourself and try it out. Consider also, please, all the other books by your Webmaster listed in the left sidebar. All profits from sales of these books go toward supporting the research and hosting of this website. Profits from book sales all go to support www.dmairfield.org.

March 2007 Book published entitled: "Military Aircraft of the Davis-Monthan Airfield 1925-1936" edited by your Webmaster.

"Military Aircraft of the Davis-Monthan Airfield 1925-1936" Cover

What happens when you take a cold training manual and wrap it with humanity? The core of this book is TM 2170-35, “Identification of Aircraft”, issued originally in 1929.  It is a training manual to help U.S. Army Air Corps personnel identify contemporary military aircraft. 

TM2170-35 is reproduced in its entirety, including crisp photographs of airplane types, with 3-view silhouettes of each type on facing pages.  Twenty-eight of the 41 aircraft types illustrated in TM 2170-35 were flown to Tucson during the time of the Register.  Further, 850 landings were made at Tucson by these aircraft and their gifted pilots.

Black & white images with technical captions are “cold”.  But, add the people from the Register and an intimate parallel emerges between this book and the website.   For each aircraft type, the book tabulates their pilot names and dates of arrival at the Airfield.  It lists the registration numbers for the aircraft they flew in case you care further to research them.  The tabulated information comes from the database that drives this website.  

The book interweaves with the people of the Register and introduces us biographically to the pilots as unique human beings. We feel warmer when we learn that it was the people who drove the technology, not the other way around. Profits from book sales all go to support www.dmairfield.org.

February 2007 Book published entitled: "Art Goebel's Own Story" by Register signer Art Goebel.

"Art Goebel's Own Story" Cover

This is an autobiographical vignette cast around the life of one pilot from the Golden Age of Flight.  Arthur C. Goebel was born October 19, 1895; he died in Los Angeles, CA at age 78 on December 3, 1973. 

Edited by your Webmaster, none of Goebel’s words have been changed in this new, augmented edition.  From Foreword to Chapter Eleven the story, typeset and images are faithful reproductions of Goebel’s original 1929 book.  The cover art, left, is based on the original cover of Goebel's slim, autobiographical volume. The smudges and scrapes of age have been left for you to enjoy.

Goebel's language expands for us the life of the Golden Age aviation entrepreneur, who used his aviation exploits to build a business around his passion. We also get to SEE what things were like.  His book brings us 47 black and white images of people and airplanes that have not enjoyed the light of day for nearly 80 years. 

Your editor extends the biography in his Introduction and provides a summary look at the airplanes Goebel flew and the landings he made at the Davis-Monthan Airfield, Tucson, AZ between 1928 and 1931.  He also provides an annotated bibliography.  There you will find recommendations for, and comments about, books, magazines, newspapers and Web resources.

A life reviewed so long ago deserves another look.  “Art Goebel’s Own Story” by Art Goebel was published in 1929, nine years after he learned to fly and 44 years before he flew West to his Final Horizon.  His story takes place just shy of half way through his life. Barely a quarter century had passed since the Wright Brothers’ first short flights.  Yet Art Goebel’s flights that comprise his major claims to fame spanned not only the Pacific Ocean but the Continental United States and the National Air Races.

He had prodigious skills as a pilot, yet his book emphasizes a more fundamental character strength from which arose all success in his life: careful, thoughtful, exhaustive analysis and preparation. 

This is a rare volume. Originals are available to borrow from only three libraries in the United States. Now you can have your own copy! .

"Aviation History Website Launch

Aviation historian and enthusiast Gary W. Hyatt (MAPA 8117) has launched the Web site, www.dmairfield.com. “My site is built around one of the most significant Golden Age civil, commercial and military aviation artifacts in the country.” says Hyatt. The artifact is a folio-sized, leather-bound transient register, signed by pilots visiting the original Davis-Monthan Airfield in Tucson, AZ between 1925 and 1936.

Hyatt’s Web site exhibits color images of all 218 pages of the register. The pages feature signatures of many famous pilots, including Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart and Pancho Barnes. The site also features a database of all 3,704 pilot names and associated register information, which, through built-in menus, enables site users to investigate individual pilots, their vintage airplanes, and passengers. “The database is the core of the website.” says Hyatt, “It drives and coordinates for site guests the images and texts I’ve developed to make the 80 year-old Register come alive to 21st century internet users.”

“My Web site represents five hard years of research, interviews, writing, photography, and flying around the country.” says Hyatt. “It brings my efforts to life as a tribute to the people and airplanes that brought us modern aviation.” Hyatt will update the Web site, and asks users to submit contributions about people, airplanes, places and events surrounding the Davis-Monthan Airfield during the Golden Age. For more information, please contact him on the website at www.dmairfield.com."

July 25, 2003 From the Friday issue of "Desert Airman", the weekly newspaper of the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Abridged from the article.

"TUCSON'S GOLDEN AGE OF AVIATION...ITS SPIRIT STILL LIVES ON" by SSgt. Tammie Clark

A man who has dedicated more hours than can be counted to researching Davis-Monthan's history gave a briefing July 16 to discuss a significant piece of that history.

"The Davis-Monthan Aviation Field Transient Register is the most significant civil, commercial and military aviation artifact from the southwest U.S.", said Dr. Gary Hyatt. The register is a book, which is maintained at base operations. The pilots who landed at D-M signed the book between 1925 and 1936.

"We should feel lucky that he [Hyatt] has 'adopted' Davis-Mothan's aviation history to explore," said Gwen Lisa, 355th Civil Engineer Squadron natural and cultural resource manager.

"The register is a testimony of the importance of Tucson in Golden Age aviation history. Some very special people came through here in the 20's and 30's who still affect our lives today," said Hyatt. The most rewarding part according to Hyatt has been meeting people who actually signed the book. "Shaking hands with Bobbi Trout, John Miller and William Piper, Jr. has been very satisfying."
