The numbers in the second column are the numbers of landings made by that brand of aircraft at the Airfield between 1925 and 1936. Another way of saying this is that there were 10 landings by Aeromarine aircraft and 147 by Lockheed aircraft. This number may include multiple landings by the same airplane. For example, the 147 Lockheed landings were made by at least 75 different airplanes. And, of 338 landings by Fokker aircraft, 95 of them were by Universal NC3317.

| YOU CAN HELP |
|
I'm looking for information about all these aircraft brands, especially inside information you don't find in textbooks (see, for example, the link to Inland).
I'm interested in contemporary aerial views of the manufacturing facilities, photographs of company principals of the era, and images of new aircraft models on the ramp at the factory.
If you have have information of this type you'd like to share, please use this FORM to
contact me. That goes, too, for hyperlinks to relevant information (URLs).
