Item Details
Description
In 1932, US Army Air Corps WWI veteran Joe Plosser started a flying school called Grand Central School of Aviation. During the interwar years, his school would train Jimmy Doolittle, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and other famous celebrity pilots, and the school was used to train pilots for World War II as well. This small collection includes a pamphlet for the school which is signed in the back with autographs of Burleigh and Janet Putnam and Rufus March II. Burleigh Putnam served as Plosser's chief pilot, and his wife Janet was a teacher. This school was host to Howard Hughes and other famed aviators. Also includes a multi-piece wool and embroidered patch from the uniform of a School of Aviation instructor. Book is in excellent condition, as is the patch. Excellent
