Purdue Aeronautical Engineering Department, labs and equipment, 1940 - 1959

This series provides a unique look into the earliest years of the Purdue Airport, aero equipment and labs, and staff (most unmarked). There is also a photo album titled, "Purdue Aeronautical Engineering," which also contains clippings from the 1940s. The clippings and photographs have been retained as originally placed in the album. There is also one folder which contains photographs of aircraft and pilots dating from 1909-1964. Other photographs... were in envelopes marked, "Inter-American PTP, Class 45B," "Before 1945," "Air Transportation Department," and "1952 Pictures (Annual Report)." These have been transferred to archival folders, sleeved and retained in their original named groups.
