  • A Columbia (SC) Aviator and His Stinson Detroiter Remembered
    A Columbia (SC) Aviator and His Stinson Detroiter Remembered By Thomas Savage (1933-2018) and Ron Shelton Paul Rinaldo Redfern -----The First Aviator to Solo the Caribbean Sea • At age 16 he built and flew in a biplane type glider on the outskirts of Columbia, S. C. • In a sophomore industrial arts class at Columbia High School he built a full size biplane without an engine. It created a local sensation when displayed at the University of South Carolina, and resulted in his not graduating the following year with his senior class. • Because of his demonstrated skills and talent and with his parents’ permission he left the area upon the completion of his second year in high school to work as an inspector at the Standard Aircraft Factory in Elizabeth, New Jersey. When the factory ceased production in February, 1919 he reentered high school in Columbia. • At Benedict College, where his father was on the faculty, he designed and assembled a small biplane from spare parts and a used WW I aircraft engine during his senior year in high school. • During this time he established the first commercial airfield in Columbia at the present site of Dreher High School. He soloed from this field in his small biplane. • After graduating from high school Paul Redfern earned his living as an aviator. In addition to his small biplane he acquired and flew a Curtiss Jenny JN-4 and a DeHavilland DH-4. He operated out of his airport in Columbia and later out of one he established in Toledo, Ohio. A very large group of observers and supporters gathered to watch the departure of the Stinson SM-1 from a runway on the beach at Sea Island, Ga.

  • One Summer: America, 1927 Notes on Sources
    1 One Summer: America, 1927 Notes on Sources The following is a guide to sources used in One Summer: America, 1927, and is intended for those who wish to check a fact or do further reading. Where a fact is commonly known or widely reported – the date and place of Charles Lindbergh’s birth, for instance – I have not cited the source. On the whole, sources are listed only where assertions are specific, arguable or otherwise distinctively notable. Newspaper references are to page 1 stories unless otherwise noted. Because electronic archive retrievals do not often list page numbers, I have supplied the headline when the page number is unknown or uncertain. Prologue ‘Crowds flocked to Fifth Avenue to watch the blaze, the biggest the city had seen in years.’ New York Times, April 13, 1927. ‘They had been continuously airborne for 51 hours, 11 minutes and 25 seconds, an advance of nearly six hours on the existing record.’ New York Times, April 15, 1927. ‘It turned out that one of their ground crew, in a moment of excited distraction, had left their canteens filled with soapy water, so they had had nothing to drink for two days.’ Chamberlin, Record Flights, p. 21. ‘Just as significantly, they had managed to get airborne with 375 gallons of fuel, an enormous load for the time, and had used up just 1,200 feet of runway to do so.’ Chamberlin, Record Flights, pp. 19–23. ‘Germany, Britain, Italy, Russia, Japan, and Austria all had no more than four planes in their fleets; the United States had just two.’ Van Creveld, The Age of Airpower, p.
