FRONT COVER: It's hard to believe that this Cessna 172 was delivered over 36
years ago. One of the first bui lt with Cessna's Ommnivision back window, it's been
a part of Robert Koshar's family since 1972. It won the Contemporary Champion
award at EM AirVenture 2000. EM photo by Jim Koepnick, EAA Cessna 210 photo
plane flown by Bruce Moore.
BACK COVER: Frank Warren's striking painting entitled "All American Ace " shows
us Douglas Campbell, the first pilot trained by Americans to become an ace during
WW-I. Campbel l downed his 5 German aircraft in 1918. He stands beside a Nieuport
28 bearing the "Hat in the Ring" markings of the 94th Squadron of the American 1st
Pursuit Group. Warren 's painting was awarded an Honorable Mention ribbon from the
judges of the 2002 EM Sport Aviation Art Competition.

Winter Work
It happens every so often; we
have winter weather in my part of
North Carolina. Since the first of De
cember I have had either snow or ice
lying in front of my hangar door
about half the time. My hangar door
faces east, and with the sun in the
southern sky this time of year, the
hangar shades this area. The snow
and ice stays there until it warms up
for a few days.
I know those of you who live
where you must put up with these
conditions every winter are not go
ing to have a good deal of sympathy
for me. Not having all of the neces
sary equipment to deal with the snow
removal, most of the time we south
ern guys rely on Mother Nature to
remove this crunchy, cold stuff. I
have a bi-fold hangar door, and with
it closed, coupled with the insulation
and a good propane heater, it makes
for a cozy atmosphere.
In December we had our EAA
Chapter Christmas party in our
hangar. This gathering is one that a
number of people that may not at
tend other meetings very often will
make an extra effort to attend. It is a
covered dish affair; Norma and I
supply the turkey and ham. There is
always a great deal of food for every
one. With crummy, uncomfortable
weather outside, the Chapter also
held its January meeting at our
hangar. A number of aircraft did fly
in, including a new RV-S. I would
have liked to linger and admire it,
but it was windy and cold, so I
ducked back inside before I was
chilled to the bone.
With the weather so cold, it's a great
time to stay in the hangar and work on
the Luscombe panel again. I have com
pletely removed the old panel and the
wiring, plumbing, etc. The windshield

DAVID ELMENDORF
David Richard Elmendorf was born in
1911 in Puerto Rico. His family then moved
to New York, and he attended St. John's
Military School. As a young man he moved
to California in the late 1920s and settled
in Culver City, close to Clover Field in Santa
Monica, a center of early aviation in Califor
nia. He learned to fly in a Reet biplane.
In 1935 he entered the National Air
Races in Cleveland and again in Los Ange
les in 1936 with his plane, the Elmendorf
Special, which was a Keith-Rider R5. This
plane was later sold (1938) and renamed
the Jackrabbit and today is on display in
the Wittman hangar at the EAA AirVenture
Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Later, he worked at Douglas Aircraft and
in 1941 joined a pilot training school at Cal
Aero in Ontario, California, where he trained
young Air Corps cadets to fly. He also served
in the U.S. Army in 1945 and continued to
train pilots. After the war, he returned to
Douglas and retired after 35 years as an air
craft mechanic.
Dave is survived by his wife of 70
years, Helen Elmendorf. He was buried on
September 26, 2002, at Forest Lawn in
Hollywood Hills, California.

slow climb, with the landing
gear fully extended, did get us over
the big oil refinery ahead of us at
Kearny, New Jersey, but we could
smell the chemical smoke as we
skimmed over it! The two Wright
engines stayed at full takeoff power
and were getting hot.
Fortunately, with flat terrain
ahead we were able to hold level
for a while to get more cooling air
before starting a long, slow climb
to about 1,000 feet. That was
enough for the present. Only a
sight reduction of power was possi
ble without losing airspeed and
altitude. Here we were at low alti
tude with all kinds of populated
areas under us, with an overload of
ammunition. The engines had to
be left in a rich mixture condition
to keep them from failing-we
used the fuel for extra cooling .
There was no choice whatsoever
we had to continue on course, gain
a little altitude, and hope the en
gines would get us to Atlanta. Fat
chance! We did not have autopi
lots in EAL airplanes (Captain
Eddie's idea), so flying at that load
and low airspeed was tiring. We
took turns at it and suspected that
the overload was greater than we
were told. We could not decide
what it could be that could pre
vent the gear from retracting,
unless a set of safety pins was still
in place.
Yet, we had plainly seen them in
the hand of the tow tractor driver.

the landing gear to retract, why
didn't I think of that before I did?
Since Dick Dice had priority as
captain, he was entitled to keep
the valve.
Now, here is a similar incident
in a Bonanza. You Bonanza people
all know that it is de rigueur to
crank up the landing gear by hand.
Such stress on the gearing may
cause a failure in the gearbox. The
failure might not happen at the
time of the cranking, but pOSSibly
later at an inconvenient time.

Johnny and I were
waiting at LaGuardia
for a Lockheed C-60 to
arrive on a cargo run. The C-60 was
to depart Buffalo for Rome Air Force
Base in upstate New York, and then
continue on to LaGuardia. We were
to take it back the other way. It ar
rived late. The crew told us about
the hairy trip they had. As they were
approaching Rome they started pick
ing up rime ice, fast and heavy. The
crew decided to pass up Rome and
try for Albany.
They soon had such a load of ice
that the boots couldn't cope with it.
They also were unable to climb up
out of it. With full power they were
just able to stagger into Albany. Af
ter landing they said that the whole
underside of the wings and even the
fuselage had fingers of ice hanging
down like stalactites. Of course, this
load raised hell with the lift and
added weight to the plane. The cap
tain was a good pilot and plenty
cool. He wasn't one to exaggerate.
Johnny and I listened to all this,
and I figured that Johnny would

Captain Roe Nemmers was one of
our check pilots. He was checking
out one of the new captains at La
Guardia in the other DC-2. The
brake system on the DC-2 was differ
ent, to say the least. The captain had
a brake lever on the left side of the
cockpit, and the copilot had one on
the right. If the captain wanted both
brakes, he would neutralize his rud
der pedals and pull on his brake
lever. If he wanted left brake, he
would let off on the brake lever,
push the left rudder pedal, and pull
on the brake lever. The same if he
wanted right brake. The lever would
always have to be released before it
could be applied again.
The procedure after landing was
for the copilot to take the wheel and
for the captain to have his left hand
on the brake lever and his right
hand on the throttles. It was raining
on the day that Captain Nemmers
was checking out the new captain.
Between the two pilots pushing and
pulling on their respective brake
levers they managed to get off the
runway and onto the wet grass after
landing. They got it back heading

t the beginning
of the 1920s a
great number of
small airplane
companies were
created. But at the beginning of the
following decade, more than 90 per
cent of them were history, some
having built only one airframe, oth
ers none. One such company, the
Winstead Brothers Airplane Co .,
was formed in 1926 and dissolved
the same year, with a total produc
tion run of exactly one airplane.
Thanks to Paul Dougherty, presi

graces the sky of central Pennsylva

During a bustling period in the
1920s, Wichita, Kansas, became one
of the premier centers for airplane
design and production, starting with
the famous Swallow Airplane Manu
facturing Co., created by Matty Laird
in 1919 as the E.M. Laird Co. Under
Laird's guidance, Swallow became
one of the first successful post-war
airplane manufacturers, with the

Support
Why belonging to you r local chapter and
the national organization is a good thing
As your "Dear Abby" of the Vintage
group, I'm always fielding calls from
members on many subjects. One hot
topic right now is the EAA Chapter Of
fice request for a membership list and
the insistence that all chapter members
be EAA members, and, in the case of di
vision chapters, that local chapter
members be members of the national
division as well.
On the surface, this policy is deemed
by a few as somewhat proprietary,
maybe even a little dictatorial. It ran
kles some, and I know the feeling. No
one likes being told what to do.
That's one side of the issue. Here's
how most of us see it, and I'll bet you
will too after you read this and think
about the broader picture.
Supporting EAA and VAA or any
other division with your interests at
heart is important! They serve as our
voice in aviation matters . They work
nonstop promoting aviation, including
doing their best keeping the Feds in
line, doing public relations work that
tries to keep the media on the right
track, providing the facility at Oshkosh
for our annual convention, and more .
Think about the member benefits like
insurance programs, the Chapter Of
fice, Aviation Information Services, the
library, and all the other things EAA
headquarters does for us as individuals
and as a group. Yeah, I know, they do it
for all of aviation, and it takes man
power and resources.
Manpower means bucks, and the fa
cilities to house the manpower take
megabucks. The cost of doing just the
things the membership needs and
requires takes more bucks. The publica
tions take bucks. It's all a matter of
supporting the organization, a sort of
"one for all and all for one." Taking ad
vantage of the benefits of national EAA
and VAA membership without con
tributing is a sort of backhanded dealing.
