Flemming executed an instrument of gift for these papers. Linear feet: 128.8 Approximate number of pages: 254,400 Approximate number of items: Unknown Literary rights in the unpublished papers of Arthur S. Flemming have been transferred to the people of the United States. By agreement with the donor the following classes of documents will be withheld from research use: 1. Papers and other historical material the disclosure of which would constitute an invasion of personal privacy or a libel of a living person. 2. Papers and other historical materials that are specifically authorized under criteria established by statute or Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy, and are in fact properly classified pursuant to such statute or Executive Order. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The Papers of Arthur S. Flemming were deposited with the Eisenhower Library in two major accessions. The first and largest accession arrived in 1986 and contained materials from Flemming’s early civil service career through the mid-1970s. The second accession arrived in late 1996. It more or less takes up where the first accession leaves off but there are a couple exceptions that must be noted. The second accession contains a few files from the early 1960s, which were probably held back at the time of the first shipment because they were still relevant to Flemming’s activities at the time, namely files related to aging.

  • A Bove the Pacific
    Lieutenant Colonel William J. Horvat A bove the Pacific Printed and Published in the United States by Aero Publishers, Inc., 1966 ABOVE THE PACIFIC By LT. COL. WILLIAM J. HORVAT This is the first complete story of the flights “Above the Pacific” from the first Hawaiian balloon ascent in 1880 and the first Curtiss flights in1910 up to the prevent time (1966). Modern day coverage includes a discussion of the airlines that serve the area, as well as information on the satellite tracking facilities located on the island. This fascinating page of history includes the story of Hawaii’s vital role in the development of World Aviation History. Hawaii can truthfully be called the “Springboard to Aerospace” in the Pacific. As a halfway spot across the ocean, it has been used by sea-faring navigators for thousands of years; and the island’s strategic position in the midst of 5,000 miles of ocean has focused attention on this Garden Spot as an aid to aviation development. This authentic book is truthfully a documentary of flights “Above the Pacific.” Included are stories of the military interest, in addition to the civilian interest, in Hawaiian aviation. The succession of events is given in chronological order, with military as well as commercial activities being covered. An illustrated story of Pearl Harbor and World War II is also included. Editor’s Note: Above the Pacific was published by Aero Publishers, Inc. in 1966. The book is no longer in print. The publisher is no longer in business. The author Lt. Col. William J.

  • The Douglas DC-3 75 Years of Service by Henry M. Holden Reprinted with Permission World Airnews April 2010
    The Douglas DC-3 75 Years of Service By Henry M. Holden Reprinted with permission World Airnews April 2010 DECEMBER 17, 2010, MARKED THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF “THE PLANE THAT CHANGED THE WORLD. THE DOUGLAS DC-3 WAS A REVOLUTIONARY AIRFRAME THAT, WITH SOME INTERIOR RECONFIGURATION, BECAME A VERSATILE MILITARY TRANSPORT CALLED THE C-47. IT WAS THE FIRST AIRCRAFT THAT COULD MAKE money flying passengers, without relying on the generous mail subsidy the US Government provided to commercial carriers. It had safety features unheard of: propeller feathering technology; adjustable pitch propellers; an insulated cabin; hot meals, and more. It gave the public a feeling of safety and comfort and fostered major growth in commercial aviation both in the United States and around the world. But what events led to the creation of the DC-3? On March 31, 1931, a TWA Fokker F-10A trimotor crashed into a Kansas wheat field, killing all on board. As a result of the crash, and until the cause could be determined, all 33 of Anthony Fokker's F- I0As were grounded. This caused a near standstill in the operations of TWA, Pan American Airways and others relying on that aircraft. The Department of Air Commerce investigation showed the aircraft had 1887 hours on the airframe, and the wing root had rotted away, causing the wing to break off in the turbulence. Fokker's name was so well respected that no provision had been made for inspection panels for critical parts of the airframe. The crash ruined Fokker's reputation. The air transport business was in its infancy, and numerous crashes had caused the public to lose confidence in commercial aviation.
