On this date in 1933, seventy-five years ago, hotels and restaurants in 19 states made preparations legally to serve alcohol as the 21st Amendment, which terminated the federal prohibition of alcohol, was expected to be formally ratified by conventions in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Utah. The last ratification, by Utah delegates, would immediately end nearly 14 years of prohibition. It is safe to say that many of our thirsty pilots and passengers were very happy on the evening of the 5th; maybe not so happy on the 6th.

05/04/07 Today is the Second Anniversary of www.dmairfield.org.  Our second year was very productive.  The power of the world-wide web is alive and serving well the purposes of the history of our Golden Age of Aviation!

To-date, on www.dmairfield.org, there are biographies of 141 Golden Age pilots and passengers, histories of 302 of their aircraft, descriptions of 25 airfields, and seven moving picture sequences online.  These all document activities related to the Davis-Monthan Airfield between 1925 and 1936.  The site has grown.  It now contains 3,542 files (up 41% in one year) in 1,602 folders (+43%), and it is 669MB in size (+72%).

My personal thanks to all of them (you know who you are).

An article was published in the 50th Anniversary volume of the Journal of the American Aviation Historical Society last spring describing the operations of Standard Air Lines through Tucson during the late 1920s.  You may download that article here.

Separately, an e-commerce website, www.oldairfield.com, was officially brought online January 2, 2007.  Profits from oldairfield.com are directly donated to support the research activities and web hosting for dmairfield.org.

Among the range of products available at oldairfield.com, three books have been published this year about the people, airplanes and events documented in the Davis-Monthan Airfield Register.  Purchase of these books, likewise, supports the research and maintenance of dmairfield.org.  They are available for your enjoyment at these links:

1) “The Register of the Davis-Monthan Airfield 1925-1936”.  This book contains clear copies of all 218 pages of the Register, as well as three chapters of cross-reference tables arranged alphabetically and numerically that make it simple to identify and find individual pilots and aircraft.

2) “Art Goebel’s Own Story” by Art Goebel.  This autobiography of a Register signer provides insight into the aviation, logistical and entrepreneurial skills of pilot Art Goebel.

3) “Military Aircraft of the Davis-Monthan Airfield 1925-1936”.  This book examines 850 landings by military aircraft at the Airfield.  It provides biographical insight into the lives of some of the pilots, as well as black & white photographs of their airplanes.
