For the past few years we have heard predictionsthat the Oshkosh International Convention would dropin attendance. How wrong these predictions have been.1980 was a banner year and there is no doubt that 1981will be even greater. Information from EAA Head-quarters shows that the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh dormitory rooms were sold out six weeks earlierthan in 1980. All motels in the area are again bookedsolid and the outlying motel and housing facilities arefilled. If previous growth rates in the Oshkosh camping areas are any criteria, then 1981 will be evenlarger.

Our Antique/Classic Division function at Oshkosh'81 will again handle about fifty per cent of all theshow planes that will attend. The basic parking areaswill continue to be the same as designated throughpast years . Under the guidance of Art Morgan andBob Kesel, parking and flight line safety chairmen,the show planes will again be parked by the volunteerswho spend many hours at their job.As the week continues and some of our display aircraft make early departures, we would like for thoseof you remaining to move your show planes into theempty spaces so as to fill in the rows . The dates andtimes for these movements will be announced over theP A system and through a notice at the Red Barn. Thiswill improve the appearance of the area and allow theConvention membership to view and photograph ourdisplay aircraft during the latter part of the week without tedious walking through different areas.

During Oshkosh '80 we initiated an interview areato bring attention to various aircraft and the ownersand pilots. The success of this activity has promptedour Division to promote again this daily event and toexpand the program throughout the Convention week.Paul Stephenson is chairman of this event for Oshkosh'81 and through his able and capable expertise manyof our members will be able to participate in this popular activity.

Be sure to plan your schedules to include your favoriteforums.The nostalgic Parade of Flight will again take place

during the afternoon program on Wednesday, August 5.Probably the most photographed single event, the Paradeof Flight under the direction of Phil Coulson and Willard Benedict, will highlight the activities of that day.Your cooperation in the scheduling of this event as aflying participant will be appreciated, and be sure tofill your empty seats with the working volunteers ,many of whom have never had a thrilling ride in anantique or classic aircraft.

John Turgyan will again be in charge of our annualDivision picnic. This event becomes larger each yearand we ran out of home-cooked food again last year. Johnhas made plans for a larger attendance during 1981and requests that you obtain your picnic tickets earlyin the week. Tickets will be available at the Red Barnand the food and beverages will be served in Ollie sPark . Time and date for the picnic will be posted onthe bulletin board. This social activity is one of themost popular events at the Convention for Divisionmembers.

Our Division Headquarters at the Red Barn willagain be under the direction of Kate Morgan and JanetKesel and their fine group of volunteers. Availablefor purchase again this year will be back copies of TheVINT GE IRPL NE and various items such as jackets,caps, decals, buttons and other related items whichpromote the Division.

BRADLEY AIR MUSEUM UPDATEOn October 3, 1979 a tornado struck this museum ,causing extensive damage to 58 aircraft plus engines

and other related exhibits. This facility , located atBradley Field in Connecticut is getting back on itsfeet . Planes that escaped serious damage are on display in a temporary location on Rt. 75 in WindsorLocks. A tract of 43 acres has been leased for 50 yearsand the Connecticut Aeronautical Historical Association, Inc ., is making plans to erect a 30,000 to 35,000square foot building on the site, which is on the westside of Bradley International Airport in the towns ofEast Granby, Suffolk and Windsor Locks . from theLuscombe Association News edited by John Bergeson ,Mt. Pleasant, MI.

EC776 SLOSHING COMPOUNDA letter received at EAA Headquarters outlines someprecautions to be taken when using this particularsealant:ATTN: Chuck LarsenEditor - EAA Designee NewsletterThe article on fuel tanks , in the April DesigneeNewsletter, recommending the use of EC776 sloshingcompound should have included a hazard warning andsafety precautions.EC776 is an ideal sealant for tanks but extreme caution must be used to prevent a violent explosion if thefumes from the EC776 are ignited. One man was killedand a second one was injured seriously in an accidentin this area while sloshing a tank with EC776.A fuel tank filled with EC776 fumes, plus the fumesin the air around the tank creates one of the mostpowerful explosive conditions that you will encounter.

Anything that increases the vapors, such as hot weatheror large amounts of chemicals, usually increases th erisk of igniting the vapors .The following is a recommended list of precautionsto be taken:

ANTIQU E/CLASSIC BUILDINGPROJECT

Antique/Classic Division Chapter One , known asFSAACA (Florida Sport Aviation Antique and ClassicAssociation) is considering the sponsorship of a perma-nent building at the Sun 'N Fun site at Lakeland, FL .The group has in mind a 40' x 50 ' log cabin designwhich would provide a headquarters operation for themduring the annual fly-in. Throughout the year it wouldserve as a storage building and a place for chapters anddirectors meetings.More will be forthcoming on this ambitious projectwhich will be funded by donations .

ABORTIVE ATTEMPT TO STEALAN ANTIQUE

As reported in the Funk Flyers Newsletter editedby G. Dale Beach, Sacramento, CA someone tried tosteal a Funk (N1611N) owned by Harold Emmerich,Belleville , IL. His plane , located in a hangar on hisfarm is usually pretty secure. Harold had to be awayone day recently and when he returned that afternoonhe noticed his airplane sitting on the north end of hisrunway . Someone had broken into the bird, got it outof the hangar , pried the ignition switch out of thepanel , got it started and taxied out. Fortunately theyforgot to turn on the fuel and the engine quit beforethey got airborne . Then they must have been scaredoff and Harold now has his plane back in the hangar.

THE YOUNKINS' MR. MULLIGANAntique/Classic Division members Bob and Jim Younkin apologizedwhile their Mister Mulligan replica project was being photographed on5/21/81; it appeared that little progress had been made since the photowas taken which appeared on page 27 of the August, 1980 issue of The

VINTAGE IRPL NE But anyone who has built from scratch, a planethe size of Mulligan knows how time-consuming it can be to make suchcomponents as the fuel and oil tanks , control system , and the myriadof other detail work which must be completed before the craft can becovered.Bob and Jim are brothers living in Fayetteville, Arkansas and aregoing to great pains to make this replica as authentic as possible. Thewoodwork on the fuselage is complete and sheet metal fairings are beingmade. The wings are skinned with 3/32 plywood over which 1V oz. fiberglass and epoxy has been applied.A full time employee, Bob Bell has been hired to assist with the projectand the plane will be flying in time to ha ve many hours in the air beforeit is brought to Oshkosh '82.

Waco Ten Serial Number 1171, came out of thefactory in the fall of 1927 and was delivered to KnappFlying Service Ypsilanti Michigan , the Waco dis-tributor for the Michigan area. t was sold to RalphE. Lewis of Jackson, Michigan, who sold it two yearslater to E W Hewitt, Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. Re-maining in that area it went through six successiveowners, including Richard W Weibley of Harrisburg.I purchased it from Mr. Weibley in June of 1956, plac-ing it in storage for restoration at a later time.

t was to be several years before any restorationwork was begun. Retiring in 1973 after nearly 32 yearsin the U.S Air Force, I purchased a home in the hillsof western Maryland. With a very large basement plusa 30 x 40 foot barn in the back yard for storage, it wasan ideal place for the planned work ahead. Some re-modeling and a lot of fixing up took more time thanI had expected, but in 1974 I began serious restorationwork on NC3960. t soon became obvious that the yearsin storage had taken their toll. The hangar in whichit was stored suffered a roof collapse under an extremelyheavy snowfall in 1962. This had little effect on theWaco, but later temporary storage conditions producedmuch wing damage. The worst, however, was a flashflood which allowed water to collect inside two of thewings. This required a lot of wood replacement on theleading edge of the two lower panels.

During the restoration process, I attempted to keepthe aircraft as original as possible. The major changewas the installation ofBendix 30 x 5 wheels with mechani-cal brakes and a Scott tailwheel to make it safer tooperate on the modern airports. The Bendix wheels areshown as a factory option in some literature that I

have. New tires were obtained from Universal TireService, Elizabeth town, Pennsylvania. All fairings, floorboards, and supporting structure were replaced, alongwith a new firewall of stainless steel. The covering isGrade A cotton finished with Randolph butyrate dope.Color is Colorado Red very close to the original WacoVermillion), with the standard silver wings and blackcowling. MacWhyte stainless steel flying wires wereused with new terminal ends. New cushions were madeand covered with black naugahyde . Cockpit coamingsare of the same material over the original felt padding.The instruments are of the proper era with only thecompass and air speed needing any overhaul. A vin-tage brass fire extinguisher was contributed by PaulShank of Derwood, Maryland to complete the cockpitdetails.The OX-5 engine was completely overhauled. Piston rings were specially made by Perfect Circle, con-

Exposed screws and cowling hardware are of stainlesssteel wherever possible, and brass safety wire was usedon all turnbuckles.The engine started on the first pull (after changingan incorrectly wired ignition switch). In mid April1981, NC3960 was moved to Miller Field, a privategrass strip near Keyser, West Virginia where I had

previously built a hangar. There it was rigged andtest flown. Since it had never been issued a perma-nent airworthiness certificate, I had to arrange to haveit inspected by the FAA. This was finally done onApril 28, and after another official flight we had acelebration party at the hangar for many of our friends.Because of weather and my work schedule, we wereable to get only forty minutes flying time on the Wacobefore taking it to Burlington, North Carolina. Withmy son Bob in the front cockpit we departed at 0630Saturday, May 2. After an extended stop at Bridge-water, Virginia to thaw out and fuel up , we arrivedin Burlington at 1030. Crossing the mountains northof Lynchburg , Virginia, the temperature at flight altitude was 28 degrees fahrenheit which in an open cockpit airplane is cold.

At the EAA Antique/Classic Chapter 3 fly-in, wewere honored by receiving the Grand Champion Trophy,as well as television coverage by one of the Greens-boro stations. t was quite a memorable weekend. Thetrip back home was very enjoyable and a lot warmer.On May 16 and 17, we attended the AAA PotomacAntique Aero Squadron fly-in at Horn Point Aero-drome, Cambridge, Maryland, where we received threemore trophies plus a case of oil. The latter award wasa bit ironic, since a broken oil pressure line necessitated a forced landing at Annapolis, Maryland (LeeField) on the way home. Thanks to a restrictor fittingwhich I installed, oil pressure was maintained, however, we did lose about two gallons of oil which re-sulted in a very messy airplane. After temporary repair and clean-up was accomplished, the remainder of

ANTIQUE/CLASSIC CHAPTER 3FLY-IN

y rad ThomasPresidentAntique/Classic DivisionPhotos by Ray Bottom)

As the winter cold subsides and the warmer weatherdrifts northward from the Gulf of Mexico to the Carolinas, we begin to get that "fly-in fever" . Some of ushad attended the annual Sun 'N Fun Fly-In duringmiddle of March , and many of us returned home to lowtemperatures, as we did to thirteen inches of wet snowin northwest North Carolina Spring had not yet arrived. In the "old days", Chapter 3 held spring fly-insat various airports in our area , but always on the firstweekend in May. Our fall fly-ins began in earnest atGastonia, North Carolina, later moved to Santee, SouthCarolina , and presently to Camden. We have for severalyears chosen Burlington, North Carolina as a suitablesite for our spring fly-ins. The fine people in this central North Carolina city have been excellent hosts toour Chapter and have welcomed us with their hospitalityand facilities .

Clement H Armstrong accepts the Grand Champion AntiqueAward from Susan Trogden for his 1927 Waco 10.

1 a.m. Old aviation films, documentary films of the 30'sand WWII, similar to those shown during the OshkoshInternational Convention, highlighted the evening.

The morning fog burned off early Saturday and before noon traffic began to look like the Oshkosh arrival pattern . By mid-afternoon, 192 aircraft had arrived. Show aircraft from Canada to Florida had ar rived from the east coast and from our neighboring statesof Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia. With a briskcross wind and temperatures in the low seventies, ourfly-bys were directed throughout the day by safety andfly-by chairman, Dwight Cross.

Chapter 3 has always been noted for a relaxed-typefly-in , as our origin consisted of only antiques whichwe flew for two to three hundred miles to the fly-ins.On this day, groups were clustered around new arrivals ,greeting friends they had not seen for a year or so, orwalking the lines of show aircraft , chatting with thepilots, often enviously hoping to someday restore orown one of the show planes exhibited. Picture if youwill some of these: a Cassutt with a hand-formed alumi-

Antiquebuffs were thrilled with the Waco s - UPF-7, QCF-2and 10; Monocoupe, Spartan 7-Ws, Lockheed 12s, Stinsons and others. Space prevents acknowledging eachtype and aircraft present, but in the opinion of many,Chapter 3 had an outstanding representation of allcategories.

Of interest to many and a possible suggestion toother chapters, is the compatability of various aviat ion groups. For several years the Carolinas Wing ofthe OX-5 Aviation Pioneers has met during each ofChapter 3 fly-ins. What is more interesting to an OX-5member than to meet with his friends and at the sametime be able to see and enjoy the aircraft he used tofly in the early days of aviation? This Wing has a noon

meeting on the Saturday of our fly-in, and their members are always welcome to inspect the aircraft andenjoy buddy rides with us . Many OX-5 members remainthrough Saturday evening to enjoy our banquet, watchthe films and exchange tales of their past years.On Saturday morning, we noted a mass of aircraftapproaching from the northwest. Soon we recognizedthem as a loose formation of Vagabonds, coming from

tion Pioneers present when the Waco 10 arrived.Under the capable direction of Espie "Butch" Joyce,the judges began the job of selecting the award winners for the fly-in. Judging began officially at 2 p.m.and three and one-half hours later the judges had completed their paperwork and had selected the winners .Butch, incidentally, is an EAA Life Member, past president of EAA Chapter 8, vice president of Antique/Classic Chapter 3, and has recently been appointed asAdvisor to the Board of Directors of the EAA Antique/Classic Division. His volunteer work over many yearshas been an asset to EAA and our local chapters.Saturday evening began with a social hour, followedby a banquet at the Ramada Inn. Two hundred and thirtyeight members and guests attended the evening meal,which was followed by a well -rounded program underthe direction of Bill Hawkins, president of Chapter 3.After business reports by secretary Geneva McKiernan

and treasurer George McKierman, we were entertainedwith choice words from Max Freeman, president of theCarolinas' Wing of the OX-5 Aviation Pioneers. Awardwinners were announced by Butch Joyce and the presentations were made by Susan Trogden. Following theawards, the banquet room was converted to a theatreand we again enjoyed vintage movies and films.During the past fly-ins , most of the pilots hadstarted for home by Sunday noon, but not this year.With excellent weather, good forecasts and pleasanttemperatures, the fly-in continued all day with flybys, social visits and just good fun . Highlighting theday 's fly-bys were several passes by EAA Air MuseumFoundation Director Jimmy Leeward in his modifiedP-51D. By 5 p.m. the last of the visitors had departedand a fine fly-in had come to its conclusion.Antique/Classic Chapter 3 has two fly-ins each year,the first weekend in May and the middle of October.Our fall fly-in will be in Camden South Carolina onOctober 16-18, 1981 and everyone is welcome. Eachyear we see more show aircraft making flights of greater distances. This year marked our first Canadian visitorwhen Richard Eaves of London, Ontario arrived with afriend in his Wittman Tailwind. And would you believethat six members of the famed Tullahoma Bunch madetheir first arrival at the fly-in in a four wheeled vanOur opinion is that this group will arrive at Camdenfor our fall fly-in in their fine collection of antiqueand classic aircraft. Weare looking forward to our fallfly-in and want to invite all to this fine social andfun-loving gathering.

Evelyn Bobbi Trout first saw the light of day atGreenup, Illinois, January 7, 1906. Born into a roaming family, she was the daughter of Lola Denman andGeorge Trout. She lived in numerous states - Colorado,Arkansas, Washington, Ontario and Missouri, duringthe pre-teen years. The family fmally located and established roots in Southern California, in the LosAngeles area. 418 South Soto Street was homebaseduring the '30's. She had one brother, Denman , andtwo n ephews, interestingly named Brook and LakeTrout .Bobbi had her first airplane ride in 1922 but itwas not until 1927-28 that she learned to fly at Burdett Fuller's Flying School, Fuller Field, close to 85thand Southwestern. The airport was adjacent to thatowned by J ack Frye, which operated as Aero CorpsFlying Service.

Lone Eagle pose with a Golden Eagle.Flying time did not come easy during the lean years,

and to supplement her earnings in the early days, sheowned and operated auto service stations , at Anaheimand at 4th and Soto, Los Angeles. This helped in completing her schooling and adding flying time to thelog book. With 200+ hours accumulated, Bobbi acquiredTransport license #2613 , becoming the fifth womanin the USA to obtain this rating. About this time, R. O.Bone, .who headed up the Golden Eagle Aircraft Company, was in need of a demonstration and test pilot,and Bobbi signed on. In order to bring attention andsales appeal to the aircraft, a number of record endurance and altitude flights were undertaken.Trout flew one of the early Golden Eagles at thededication of the Los Angeles-Metropolitan Airport atVan Nuys, December 16, 1928, and won the women'sclosed-course (pylon) race. While the endurance flightof the Army Air Corps' Fokker Question Mark wasunderway, Bobbi took off for her first non-refueling endurance attempt from Van Nuys Airport. Using a Le-Blond 60 hp Golden Eagle, she remained aloft 12 hours,11 minutes on January 2, 1929. Using the same plane,and flying from Mines Field (now Los Angeles International), she boosted the women's non-refueling recordeven higher on February 10-11 with a flight of 17 hours,5 minutes. While setting this record she also made the

However, R O Bone was not enthused about the venture, so it was shelved.Trout entered the Golden Eagle, 90 hp Kinner,R223M, in the First Women's Air Derby from SantaMonica to Cleveland, August 18-26. Although a forcedlanding near Yuma put her out of the competition ,she managed to fly the course and finish at Clevelanda few hours after the winning contestants, along witha couple of other entrants. Race winner Louise Thadenwrote , We re there a O rize foo tenacity , Trout andHaizlip surely would be in an uncontested tie for theaward.Local air shows attracted attention to aviation, soBobbi participated with Gladys O'Donnell, MargaretPerry Cooper, Clema Granger, Melba Gorby Beard, AlineMiller, Yolanda Spirito and others. Although a certain amount of friendly rivalry existed as the pilotsvied for altitude and endurance records and over therace course, camaraderie came to the fore. This eventually led to the formation of such organizations as theNinety-Nines and the Women's Air Reserve, amongothers.Elinor Smith (License #3178) had been setting soloendurance records in New York and Bobbi in the West,so they joined forces after having met at the '29 National

heated flying suit.Elinor landed after 42 hours, 5 minutes in the airthe best and first record of its kind for women.Prior to the endurance flight , both girls designedtheir own flying suits with matching helmets for dressup occasions. Suede material was chosen and Elinor'swas a dark avacado color. Bobbi's was of fuchsia andbeige, and the suits were tailored by Hook, Ltd., LosAngeles. Bobbi's featured bell-bottoms, and with longleg zippers, the legs could be cinched up for close fitwhen needed in flying. Bobbi is still considered an excellent seamstress and makes innovative improvementsto her wardrobe.Toward the end of the year she became one of theninety-nine charter members of The Ninety-Nines, Inc.May 30-31, 1930 found Bobbi at the dedications ofthe United Airport, Burbank (later Lockheed) - hereshe won the Pratt and Whitney Trophy, presented byMrs. Hamilton, in the Women's Pylon Race.The in-air refueling fever struck again - Edna MayCooper (License #13310) joined as second pilot and aCurtiss Robin, NR749M, Challenger powered, was usedfor the flight. The ship was christened Lady Rolph ,named after the California Governor at that time.New Year's Day 1931 at 3:30 p.m. marked the beginning of Bobbi and Edna May's renewed assault onthe in-air refueling record, from Mines Field, Los An

did not materialize for lack of backing. Amelia Earhart accomplished the feat January 11-12, 1935 in herLockheed Vega, Wheeler Field to Oakland, first personto solo Hawaii to California.The Women's Air Reserve had been formed on theWest Coast, a patriotic group to serve in time of needduring National emergencies and disasters, somewhatthe same intent as the Betsy Ross Corps. The summerof 1934 found Trout joining five other members of theWAR in a round-trip , trans-continental flight (LosAngeles , Kansas City , Cleveland, New York , Washington, DC and return). They flew J-5 Stearmans andwere sponsored by the Gilmore Oil Company; theirnatty uniforms were of powder blue with black accessories.

Mary Charles and co-pilot Patty Willis were forceddown and out of the tour early-on, but the other twoplanes flown by Bobbi, with Viola Niell as co-pilot, andPancho Barnes, with co-pilot Nancy Drake Chaffee ,finished the unique junket.Prior to and during WWII, Trout's company, thecountry's most complete set-up", salvaged the discardedrivets from the various aircraft manufacturers, sortedand readied them for use again. The company was soldin 1943 and a de-burring service started which is stillactive.

In 1956 Bobbi moved to the Palm Springs area andengaged in real estate and investments. Although nowsemi-retired, Bobbi occasionally delves in real estate .She regularly attends invention and camera meetingsand is considered an excellent dowser in treasure hunting. She enjoys her Lindy mobile home on outings andkeeps her bright red Porsche in action on the freeways.Currently, she lives in her condo at LaCosta, Carlsbad,California.

OOK REVIEWIowa Takes t theAir Volume One by Ann HoltgrenPellegreno, is a detailed and well-documented account

of flying in that state covering the period from 1845 to1918. The great amount of aerial activity during thoseyears is truly amazing. Balloons, hang gliders and dirigibles were frequently flown at fairs and celebrations until1910 when aeroplanes joined the scene.

After many hours of work and very little sleep the folksmanage to smile as they board the bus on Sunday afternoonfor the return trip home.

Ann Holtgren Pellegreno and husband Don are EAAmembers currently living in Iowa. Ann made her markin the aviation world when she flew a Lockheed 10around the world in 1967, completing the trip on whichAmelia Earhart was lost in 1937.
