This is a 31 page booklet with many pictures of the operations and people of the Curtiss-Wright Airplane Division in Buffalo,New York. There are aerial views of the facility, a photo of the family home that held up production of the facility, many photos of the construction of the facility, photos of the Power House, Flight Test Hangar, Cranes at work, installing the 2 ton doors, the Fowler Plant, an engineering class at Curtiss-Wright,Judge Robert P. Patterson, the Undersecretary of War, at the dedication of the airport, a very large fold out picture of the important guests at the dedication and their comments, the plane P-40 Pursuit, and more. There is a long article describing the individual lockers for all employees, the 54 circular fountains, a view of the cafeteria, the serving counters that serve large groups of people. There are pages of "Newsy Notes on your Fellow Workers at the Curtiss-Wright Airplane Division Plants". These pages contains short anecdotes on the workers. (Unfortunately there is no index, so I cannot look for specific family members.) I believe this would be a valuable booklet for someone with connections to Curtiss-Wright's Airplane Division. Please contact me if you have an interest in this booklet. Kathy Wieland in St. Louis, MO Kathy(at)craftsbykathy(dot)com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
