Vessel Exams in Cajun Country Thom Brennan, FSO-PB Last year, I hadn’t completed the five ves- sel safety checks needed to keep my vessel examiner qualifications current. Accordingly, this year I found myself in REYR status (failure to meet currency). Since I live in Louisiana, commuting to Michigan to participate in the flotilla’s VE Blitzes was out of the question.

    COMMANDER ELMER F. “ARCHIE” STONE, USCG COAST GUARD AVIATOR #1 by Captain Robert B. Workman, Jr. USCG (Retired) Coast Guard Aviator # 914, Helicopter Pilot # 438 1887 - 1936 INTRODUCTION: The birth of aviation and events in WWI and WWII inspired a few visionary men from each of the armed services and civil aviation. They knew each other, and many were close friends. Among many, the list includes Glenn Curtiss, Captain Eddie Rickenbaker (famous WWI leading ACE), aircraft designers Fokker, Sikorsky and de Seversky, RADM W.A. Moffett, USN, CDR J.H. Towers, USN (Naval Aviator #3), Prince of Wales and CDR Elmer F. Stone, USCG (Coast Guard Aviator #1)1 An additional catalyst occurred when the Coast Guard was transferred to the Department of the Navy during both wars, and Coast Guard officers were assigned to Navy ships and aviation units. The Navy was introduced to Coast Guard aviators with different visions and capabilities that grew from operations in heavy seas and foul weather during Search and Rescue missions. It was therefore natural that the early days of Naval Aviation were marked with extraordinary coordination and mutual cooperation between the Navy and the Coast Guard. Early aviators in both services supported each other while convincing skeptical shipboard officers of the relevance aircraft had for service operations. Aircraft loaned to the Coast Guard by the Navy, aviator training at NAS Pensacola and Coast Guard aviators assigned to Navy aviation projects were not uncommon. This is the story of a preeminent member of this proud family, Elmer Fowler Stone, who during one assignment served as Chief Test Pilot for Seaplanes in the Navy’s Aviation Division of NC aircraft, and later was the pilot of NC-4.

  • Christmas Miracle at Moose Factory
    1 Christmas Miracle at Moose Factory By Ernie Bies, October 28, 2014 Layout by Frank Pellow 2 With all the ingredients of a Hollywood block buster, this story happened right here in Northern Ontario during the Christmas of 1920. A simple overnight flight in a free air balloon from the Rockaway Beach Naval Air Station in New York resulted in triumph for some, but tragedy for others. The Cast: “The Kid”: Lieutenant Louis Albert Kloor Jr., though only twenty two years old, his ten previous balloon flights qualified him as team leader. Small of stature at five feet six inches and 140 pounds, his youthful Germanic looks and enthusiasm branded him as “the Kid”. He was engaged to be married to New York socialite Alexandra Flowerton. “The Aviator”: Lieutenant Walter T. Hinton, a pioneer in the field of aviation, he joined the Navy in 1908. He was a friend and contemporary of the Wright Brothers, Admiral Richard Byrd and Charles Lindbergh. Considered one of the best seaplane pilots in the navy, the thirty-two year old Hinton was on his first balloon flight. Tall, dark and handsome at five feet ten inches and weighing 155 pounds, he and his wife of four years, Addie, formed a popular couple in Navy circles. In May 1919 he was co-pilot of the Flying Boat NC-4 that accomplished the first trans-Atlantic flight from Rockaway to Lisbon, in nineteen hours. “The Boxer”: Lieutenant Stephen A. Farrell, from Brooklyn, had twenty-five years service in the navy. In his earlier career he was the heavyweight boxing champion of the Pacific Fleet.

Many visitors want to know certain dates, such as when Capitola was incorporated or when the railroad trestle was built. Others are curious about people, places, or historic buildings. This publication is an attempt to answer many of those questions in the form of a quick reference guide. It includes people, places, events, agricultural products, natural features, public art, schools, parks, churches, books about Capitola, movies made in Capitola, and assorted other topics. Each entry includes a brief description and significant dates. Many entries also include a reference to the source of the information and/or further reading. Some entries are based on information from multiple sources, of which only one or two are listed. Emphasis is on the historical development of Capitola. This list does not include living people, and it does not include businesses that started after 1980. If a word in a description has its own entry, it is often in bold.
