This is a black-and-white advertisement from Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, featuring a large photo of a twin-engine propeller airplane on a runway, facing forward. The headline at the top reads “Acceptance” in elegant cursive. Below the image, a block of text highlights the success of the Lockheed Lodestar, introduced as the world’s fastest transport aircraft. The ad notes that in just two years, Lockheed expanded its production by 600% to support the wartime demand for bombers and fighters in 1941. It emphasizes Lockheed’s shift from commercial transport to military aircraft, while expressing hope for a return to peace and civilian aviation. At the bottom, the ad encourages readers to “Look to Lockheed for Leadership,” with “Lockheed” written in bold, stylized script. The ad closes by identifying the company as being located in Burbank, California.

Just a casual biplane flying over the garden.

Spinner Reduction Surgery

By 1991 "Miss Angela" had been transferred from owner Robert "Bob" Pond to his very own museum located at the airport in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Her stay at Planes of Fame East was short, when just two years later, she was traded (along with a Douglas A-1 Skyraider) for a Boeing B-17 that Pond soon also christened "Miss Angela" after his granddaughter.

The subject of this digital composition is the Douglas DC-3 transport aircraft as it appeared in 1989 while flown by Robert Pond, identified as N132BB.

Multiple Bob's are Back

Shame on me (being the first Bob), for not posting in three months! Honest, I have been busy, primarily with heavy-duty household projects that had to be completed before the Florida Heat is upon us. Spare time was spent digitizing my DC-3 books and locating internet images. I have catalogued some 75,000 images for future reference in developing my art.

Unfortunately, I did not find many new images for today's subject, the C-41A with MSN 2145. This unique aircraft has an unusual history, and until recently seems to have been camera-shy.

When collector Robert (the second Bob) Pond acquired MSN 2145 in 1989, he had her painted to resemble the scheme applied to U.S. Navy aircraft during the beginning of World War II. Her nickname, "Miss Angela" honors his granddaughter (and was later applied to a Boeing B-17). I modified the previous release of this livery to reflect her appearance a year earlier than before, while she still sported the massive prop spinners. Her coloration has been revised as well. This livery will appear again, sans spinners, for a subsequent owner shortly.

"The Convair XC-99: A Forgotten Giant at Davis-Monthan AFB

The XC-99, a colossal and largely forgotten aircraft, sits in storage at Davis-Monthan AFB, awaiting its fate. Contributor Cassidy Cristello recently visited the site, capturing images of this remarkable relic of 1950s aviation."

#AviationHistory #VintageAircraft

A post by a friend reminded me that I have a bit of a guilty pleasure of appreciating old flying machines. I realise aviation isn't the most environmentally friendly, but short local flights at low speed by lightweight aircraft are a far cry from intercontinental flights by large airliners weighing many tons, up in the stratosphere.
I figured if I was going to photograph a vintage aircraft, it might be fun to reproduce the image using vintage techniques.
This is a cyanotype, bleached then toned in strong tea, and hand painted with watercolour paints, so an iconic British aircraft reproduced using chemistry discovered by Sir John Herschel, then toned in that quintessential of English drinks, tea.
I suspect this aircraft will be participating in Classic Fighters in a couple of weeks at Easter.

sepia toned print of Tiger Moth aircraft flying over low hills.

Revisiting an old scan of a slide... This was taken at the now long gone Frederick Airshow. I am guessing it would be in the late 90s. The #Corsair in the background was the aircraft flown by Joe Tobul which he crashed and died in November 2002. His son Jim Tobul later rebuilt the aircraft and currently flies it at airshows. The #P51D Mustang was donated to the #RAF Museum in 2003 where it is currently on display. #joetobul #jimtobul #airshow #warbirds #aviation #vintageaircraft
