Material: Abstract: George J. Frebert (1929-2002) was a pilot and aviation enthusiast. He authored the book Delaware Aviation History. The collection contains both materials used in the preparation of Delaware Aviation History and other items that Frebert collected dealing with Delaware aviation, aviators and airports. Much of the material was copied from historical repositories, but Frebert also collected original materals and photos from other early aviators. ^ Return to Table of Contents Biographical Note George J. Frebert (1929-2002) was a pilot and aviation enthusiast. Frebert, author of Delaware Aviation History, was born on August 15, 1929 in College Park, Maryland. His interest in airplanes began early in life, including the building and flying of model airplanes while a boy. He also washed airplanes in return for flying lessons and took his first solo flight on his sixteenth birthday. Frebert served in the Air Force for four years during the Korean Conflict. On his return to civilian life, he settled in Dover, Delaware, and founded the Dover Litho Printing Company in 1957. He was active in local business organizations, served as president of the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce in 1968-1969, and was Small Business Man of the Year in 1986. As his business thrived, Frebert returned to personal flying, obtaining his private, commercial and multi-engine ratings at the Delaware Airpark. His interest in aviation history led him to restore four airplanes. After retiring from the Dover Litho Printing Company in 1991, Frebert began research on Delaware Aviation History, which was published by his printing company in July 1998. The book covers Delaware - Page 3- George J. Frebert Collection on Delaware Aviation 2288 aviation history from its beginnings to the end of the twentieth century. The book highlights the careers of Henry Belin du Pont (1898-1970), who founded Atlantic Aviation and welcomed Charles Lindbergh (1902-1974) on his visit to Wilmington in 1927, Richard Chicester du Pont (1911-1943) and All American Aviation, Inc., and particularly Giuseppe M. Bellanca (1886-1960), the only significant pioneer airplane designer and builder active in Delaware. Frebert died at his home in Smyrna, Delaware, on November 10, 2002. Katherine E. Pusey (1905-1965), who reverted to her birth name after her 1934 divorce from Theodore William Canning (1905-1958), was the first woman aviator in Delaware and became the chief pilot for the flying delivery service of the Phillips Packing Company of Cambridge, Maryland. She suffered major injuries in a crash at Pocomoke City, Maryland, on June 20, 1934, and became a stenographer, but resumed flying as a member of the Civil Air Patrol during World War II. Pusey's was employed as the chief pilot for the new flying service of the Phillips Packing Company of Cambridge, Maryland in from 1934 to 1935. This company's product was Phillips Delicious Vegetable Soup. The Phillips Packing Company was the first in the vegetable harvesting and canning business to introduce a flying service. Colonel Albanus Phillips (1871-1949) was the Phillips Company president, S. Charles Walls (1914-1969) the Public Relations man, and Robert D. Turpin (1911-1976) the flying mechanic. Katrina (nickname Bunny) Canning owned her own plane and flew it for this service. ^ Return to Table of Contents Scope and Content The collection contains both materials used in the preparation of Delaware Aviation History and other items that Frebert collected dealing with Delaware aviation, aviators and airports. Much of the material was copied from historical repositories, but Frebert also collected original materals and photos from other early aviators. The main focus is on Giuseppe Bellanca and his Bellanca Aircraft Corporation, the most significant figure in Delaware aviation, but the collection also contains documentation on the work of airline promoter Henry Belin du Pont and pilot Richard Chichester du Pont, including the latter's innovative but short-lived air-mail pick-up system for snagging mail sacks mounted on the ground. Frebert also collected the personal scrapbooks and other memorabilia of Katrina Elizabeth Pusey, the first woman aviator in Delaware. These document her early work for a flying delivery service, her injuries in a 1934 crash that ended her flying career except for home front activities during World War II, and her bitter divorce from her first husband Theodore William Canning on grounds of adultery, along with the feats of other early woman aviators. ^ Return to Table of Contents - Page 4- George J.

    SENATE RESOLUTION 8724 by Senators Parlette, Morton, Johnson

    SENATE RESOLUTION 8724 By Senators Parlette, Morton, Johnson and Berkey WHEREAS, On October 5, 1931, Clyde Edward Pangborn and Hugh Herndon, Jr. solidified their place in history with the completion of a 5,550 mile, 41 hour, 15 minute nonstop flight from Misawa, Japan, to East Wenatchee, Washington, aboard Miss Veedol, their single engine, bright red Bellanca "Skyrocket" monoplane; and WHEREAS, This historic flight was the first nonstop crossing of the Pacific Ocean in the history of the world, and was due in large part to Pangborn's revolutionary idea of releasing the landing gear upon take-off, increasing the range of the plane by fifteen percent; and WHEREAS, Without landing gear, Pangborn and Herndon were forced to land the plane on its belly in the sagebrush flat above the Columbia River, which they accomplished safely; and WHEREAS, While their momentous accomplishment equaled or exceeded that of Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic crossing, Pangborn and Herndon were nationally celebrated for only a short period of time as the country lapsed back into the depths of the Great Depression; and WHEREAS, This historic flight would have nearly been lost to the history books, but a dedicated group of airmen in the Wenatchee branch of the Experimental Aircraft Association, appropriately named "The Spirit of Wenatchee," have been hard at work raising awareness of the magnificent achievements of Pangborn and Herndon; and WHEREAS, Through the construction of a replica plane and regular travel to airshows across the country, the Spirit of Wenatchee

    In 1922, New York State Created Its Medal for Aid to Civil Authorities to Recognize This and Other Types of Service Rendered by Guardsmen to Local Civil Governments

    In 1922, New York State created its Medal for Aid to Civil Authorities to recognize this and other types of service rendered by Guardsmen to local civil governments. It was awarded for the April 1900 service outlined above with a clasp inscribed "CROTON DAM, 1900." But this State medal was created over twenty years after the event. How many eligible recipients never heard of this State medal after its creation or had died in the intervening years can only be guessed at. At the time of the strike there was no official State award. To fill the gap (and to the rescue) came the Guinea War Medal created right then in 1900. The Guinea War Medal is the "medallion" of the Guinea War Society, also known as Veterans of the Guinea War. This group was formed in the tent of some 7th Regiment men at the strike scene and for some years thereafter held annual ~eunions.5 The medal is described as "a small commemorative coin" by one source.6 It is made from an Italian I0 centisimi coin. Although post 1877 King Umberto I coins could have been used, they may have been deliberately avoided out of deference to him. He was assassinated on July 27, 1900.7 The i0 centisimi used on the three examples of this medal that the author has seen, bear the likeness of King Victor Emanual I, who reigned 1860-1877.8 NOTE: i00 centesimi equaled/s 1 lira. The coin from which the medal’s pendant was made is composed of the usual copper-bronze alloy used for 1800s pennies.

    THE AMERICAN ARCHIVIST Archives in Controversy: The Press, the Documentaries Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/62/2/307/2749198/aarc_62_2_t1u7854068882508.pdf by guest on 01 October 2021 and the Byrd Archives Raimund E. Goerler Abstract One of the major news stories of 1996 was the discovery and analysis of Richard Byrd's diary and notebook for his North Pole flight of 1926. Byrd's claim to be die first to fly to the North Pole was challenged by his contemporaries and by later historians. The diary provided new evidence, and the news of its existence and meaning fueled stories that reached every part of the globe. Interest in Byrd also inspired producers of three documentaries. The archivist who dealt widi reporters and producers discusses die media coverage, the challenges of working with reporters and producers of documentaries, and the impact of the publicity on an archival program. n May 9,1996, the seventieth anniversary of Richard Byrd's flight to the North Pole, Ohio State University ("OSU") announced the discovery Oof a diary of the flight. The story about Byrd's diary appeared in news- papers and on television and radio across the United States and Europe, and as far away as Australia. At die end of 1996 columnist George Will ranked the story as one of the year's biggest, especially because of an interpretation of the diary that cast doubt upon Byrd's accomplishment.1 Producers also followed the Byrd story and used archival materials for three separate television documentaries. Rarely have archivists experienced such controversy over an event covered by the media.2 The publicity and the dramatic productions that followed the 1 George F.
