In front of the Babb hangar at Glendale. Jimmie Mattern again used the registration NR869E for this modified L-12. Planned long-range flights did not go ahead. Instead, Mattern used the aircraft to join the search for missing Soviet aviator Sigizmund Levanevsky, who had helped him following the crash of his Vega 5C NR869E (c/n 188) in Siberia. The L-12 was then converted to executive aircraft for owner/sponsor Republic Oil, but destroyed in a hangar fire in Miami in 1938. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum

Maddux Air Lines was a well-known airline in California in the late 1920s. A November 1929 takeover by Transcontinental Air Transport resulted in TAT-Maddux, and then in 1930 a merger with Western Air Express led to what became known as TWA. Photo by: G Haven Bishop / The Huntington Library

Flown by Jimmy Doolittle on a trans-USA speed record flight in January 1935 while on lease to Shell.

'American Eagle plane at the Glendale assembly plant.' This may refer to the Kinner Airplane & Motor Corporation. With the Kinner K-5 radial engine the A-129, developed from the A-101 by Giuseppe Bellanca, was known as the 'long-nose Eagle'. The photo is dated 1928 or 1929. A-129 referred to the year 1929 but perhaps the type appeared earlier. Certainly NC523 visited Clover Field, Santa Monica on 26 March 1929. Photo by: John Underwood / Glendale Public Library

Four-seat twin-boom metal aircraft designed by Thomas Shelton as the Shelton Flying Wing, although it was not what we call a flying wing today. First flown in Denver, Colorado in 1935 with fixed landing gear which was made retractable later that year. In 1936 the design was sold to the Timm Aircraft Company here at Glendale, but no production ensued. Photo by: John Underwood / Glendale Public Library

'Bombers for Britain. Glendale became a staging area for the shipment of Lockheed Hudsons. They were flown out of Burbank after testing and landed at Glendale for processing by Babb Co as sea cargo.' This early Hudson is in full British markings - N7220 is its RAF serial. This airframe was eventually converted into a VIP transport. It was used by the Dutch Communication Flight and crashed at Evere, Belgium in October 1944. Photo by: Ralph Johnston / Glendale Public Library

Flown - and crash-landed - by Howard Hughes himself, his H-1 took the world speed record for landplanes to 567 km/h (352 mph) on 13 September 1935. Oddly the Macchi MC.72 floatplane was very much faster at 709 km/h (441 mph). Photo by: John Underwood / Glendale Public Library

The forerunner of all Douglas Commercials. The sole DC-1 was ordered by Howard Hughes for TWA and first flew on 1 July 1933. Here used by the airline for tests before delivery for commercial use on 15 September 1933. Bought by Hughes in 1936. Later to G-AFIF, EC-AGN and EC-AAE being damaged beyond repair in a forced landing at Malaga with Iberia in December 1940. Note the slender slab-sided fuselage, original fin shape and spatted tailwheel. Photo obtained from Douglas.
