FRONT COVER Giles Allard of Newington, Connecticut captured this nice shot of Bob Lock in his recently
restored Command-Aire 5C3 N997E. Bob spent over a decade restoring the derelict airframe, which was
originally completed by the Little Rock. Arkansas company on October 15, 1929, only days before the stock
market crash that marked the beginning of the Great Depression. See the story beginning on page 6.
BACK COVER: Aviation artist Kendra Helvey of Poplar Grove, Illinois, created this pencil sketch of the Rez
ich family's various Travel Air biplanes. The [).4000, NC8115 owned by Mike Rezich from 1940-1981 is

Ed Marquart
Edwin E. "Ed" Marquart, a promi
nent figure of the early homebuilt
and restoration movements and EAA
Chapter I, died peacefully of natural
causes early Wednesday morning,
July 4, at the age of 85. Ed worked
at historic Flabob Airport, River
side, California, from 1955 until two
weeks before he passed away. Nearly
500 plan sets of his most popular
design, the MA-5 Charger biplane,
were sold. Ed was EAA member 198.
Up until two weeks before his death,
Marquart had been working on the
restoration of his Buhl Air Sedan.
EAA Fou nder and Chairman Paul
Poberezny said Ed Marquart was one
of the important people who made
Flabob su ch an important location
for the homebuilt movement, espe
cially in EAA's early years.
"Like so many of the fellows at
the begi n ning of our organization,
Ed liked the idea of forming EAA
and what it had to offer, and he
contributed a lot to the movement,"
he said. "People are still building his
airplanes, scratch-built rather than
assembly. Back in Riverside, he and
Ray Stits and all those fellows at the
airport created a hotbed of home
building as a result of the EAA.
"That group contributed a great
deal to support my beliefs of put

being creative. They set a standard
A Wish-Fulfilling Gift
Toward the end of the Memorial

Sean Elliott landed on nearby Pioneer
Airport in a magnificent 1932 Waco
UEC cabin biplane. Kate Meredith and
her family then donated the restored
classic (NC12472) to EAA in honor of
her late husband, Ted, who passed
away in 2003.
" It was always Ted ' s wish to re
store the airplane, " she said . "After
he passed, the family was determined
to finish the project. " Ted also in
tended for the airplane to be donated
to EAA, where it could fly among the
other classic antiques at Pioneer Air
port before being displayed at the EAA
AirVenture Museum.
"We truly appreciate this wonder
ful donation," said EAA President Tom
Poberezny. " It's a beautiful airplane.
Ted 's love of flight was very strong. "

Bob is checking the integrity of the HamiHon Standard prop during the American
Bamstonners Air Tour 2006. The installation of a Wright R-760-8 engine required
a supplemental type certificate that proved quite frustrating to obtain, even with
the help of the original designer of the plane.

Airline Travel
When Stout Air Services flew between Cleveland, Detroit, and Chicago in 1929, it operated the venerable Ford Tri-Motor,
which not only was built by the Stout Metal Airplane Co., a division of the Ford Motor Co., but the airplane traced its lineage
to the original Stout tri-motor. Stout Air Services in early 1929 was operating the Ford S-AT-B (shown above in the markings
of National Air Transport) and later in the year added the S-AT-C. The S-AT-B was the ultimate in traveler comfort and re
ceived its approved type certificate in June 1929. It was hurriedly put into service by other airlines, such as Maddux, T.A.T.,
Pan Am, Colonial, and N.A.T.
The Ford S-AT-C, which followed closely behind the S-AT-B in 1929, increased passenger capacity to 17. The first plane
off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan, went to Maddux Air Lines in California in mid-1929, and by the end of the
year a total of 35 S-AT-Cs had been delivered to various airlines. Note the mail bags being loaded into the wing storage
compartment.

With seating for 18 passengers and crew of two, the Boeing BOA was an air trav
eler's dream in 1929. The main cabin was lined with rows of three seats and was
finished with mahogany paneling (of plywood), with a thick core of balsa wood for
insulation. Soundproofing of the cabin walls pennitted passengers to converse in
near nonnal tones. Heating and ventilation brought considerable comfort to pas
sengers, who were protected by shatterproof glass windows. There also was a
cloakroom, overhead racks, and a lavatory with hot and cold mnning water.

The Boeing 80 tri-motor was introduced in late 1928 and by the next year had established itself as a leading airliner despite
the fact that it was a biplane. The single-rudder 80 was superseded later in 1929 by a single-rudder 80A and then a triple

Black eye
I woke myself up a few mornings ago rubbing my right
eye quite vigorously. It was itching rather intensely. Check
ing my eye out in the mirror, I found it was swollen to al
most twice the size of my left eye. By midday that swollen
eye had turned into one heck of a shiner. Throughout the
rest of the day, and for several days thereafter, I was al
ways embarrassed when having to respond to the question
"How did you get that black eye?" with the answer that I
had done it to myself.
As I reflected on this situation, I re
alized that I wasn't the only pilot to
give himself a black eye. As regrettable
as it might be, it seems that pilots are
doing it almost on a weekly basis, and
the black eye that they inflict is suf
fered not only individually, but also by
the entire Part 91 pilot population. Al
though it is only a very small handful
of pilots that generates negative media
attention, we all tend to be guilty by
association in the public mind.
Because of our love affair with all
things relating to aviation, we as pi
lots tend to forget that the vast ma
jority of the world does not share our
passion for flight . Every time a pilot
does something questionable, the me
dia will jump all over it. The negative
image the media creates is absorbed
by those who get their information from the daily papers,
radio, and television, creating an atmosphere of fear and
aversion to everything in the sky with an engine attached
to it. This mentality gets passed on to elected officials, and
the next thing you know there is a hue and cry to limit
general aviation in one way or another. Let me discuss
several examples.
Just a little over a week ago, a Cherokee Six en route
from Maine to my home base airport of 1B1 came out
of the clouds in pieces, with the vast majority of the air
craft crashing not far from a home in a pristine part of
I can't think of

than for a couple of

especially one such

this time for attempting a loop from 250 feet above ground
level and stalling and spinning out of the top of it. As in
the previous aCCident, this pilot took his passenger with
him on his journey west.
It is a sad, sad fact that we are our own worst enemies
when it comes to presenting a good, positive, safe vision
of aviation to the vast non-flying public. Even though it
is only a tiny handful of pilots that gives aviation its black
eye, we must all share in the responsibility. If we witness
pilots who are acting in a reckless or cavalier manner, it
is our responsibility to speak up. Say something to the
pilot. Say something to the authorities, if necessary. It is
not only our insurance premiums that escalate every time
a dumb pilot does something stupid; the hue and cry of
those who would limit our flying freedoms soars as well.
Although my aging body might be susceptible to an oc
casional self-inflicted black eye, I sure don't want to give
one of the things I love the most, aviation, a black eye .
Nor do I want anyone else inflicting that black eye. I want
to be sure that no one is trying to stop any of us from fly
ing when there are ...blue skies and tail winds.
