The purpose of this book is to preserve and make the material available to any one interested. It is from a collection kept in a desk drawer accumulating over a number of years. Thanks should be given to the friends who have given it to me...to Fran Carnahan for her husband Art’s history, to Alice Ellis White and Betty J. Herman for their collection of Pantagraph clippings. Betty's came from her mother, Mrs. William Bennet. To the Goff family for their family photo album from which snapshots of the field north of Normal came. And to Herb Morphew from the talk he gave to the Bloomington Chapter EAA March 21, 1985. and his recollections of the Tilbury Flash as he wrote for the EAA magazine “Vintage Airplane” February and March 1991. And Rick McDermott for his Lindbergh Illinois history. I have nothing on local history of aviation before WWI or people who served in WWI aviation. It might be said the decades of 1920, 1930 and 1940 were the “golden years” of aviation in Bloomington, Illinois
