Biographical / Historical

Founded after the National Air Races of 1928, the Early Birds (later to be known as the Early Birds ofAviation, Inc.) consisted of pioneer aviators banded together for the purposes of preserving aviationhistory, advancing interest in aeronautics and the enjoyment of good fellowship. Membership in the groupnecessitated documentary evidence of solo flight in heavier- or lighter-than-air craft before December 17,1916. This date was of some significance to the Early Birds, being the thirteenth anniversary (that numberbeing considered propitious) of the first sustained, powered, heavier-than-air flight by the Wrights at KittyHawk. Those interested in flying in this pre-World War I period were often required to build their own craftand instruct themselves in the necessary skills to pilot it and members took great pride in this evidenceof initiative. (For nationals of countries other than the United States which were engaged in the War theconditional date was set at August 4, 1914.)

As an organization, the Early Birds was responsible for the preservation of aircraft and records, theerection of numerous markers and monuments and the education of the public on the importance ofaviation. With members including Glenn Curtiss, Blanche Stuart Scott, Matilde Moisant, Grover Loening,Roy Knabenshue, Sir Thomas Sopwith, Katherine Stinson, Marjorie Stinson, Earle Ovington, Matty Laird,Anthony Fokker and Giuseppe Bellanca, their contributions as individuals were incalculable.

Numbering nearly 600 members at its peak, the Early Birds was conceived of as a "last man's club" whoseexistence would cease with the passing of its last surviving member.

Scope and Contents

The Early Birds of Aviation, Inc. Collection (acc. XXXX-0566) contains approximately 18 cubic feet ofmaterial relating to this group of early pilots. The material includes correspondence, financial records,periodicals, photographic material, published materials and various other media containing information onthe organization and its individual members.

The National Air and Space Museum (NASM) was designated by the Early Birds as the official repositoryfor the organization in 1960 and the Museum has obtained materials at different times from variousmembers. Much of the material in the collection is comprised of the records and memorabilia of theorganization's officers, including Paul Garber, past President as well as Archivist/Historian for the group. Inaddition to the records contained in this collection, members have donated to NASM aircraft, plaques andother items of historical interest.

Some preliminary processing work had been done on this collection by 1996, but much of the materialremained without obvious order. Original order, when identified, has been maintained.

Material was added from the Museum's Archives' Technical Files on organizations but researchersseeking information on individual members may wish to cross-reference the biographical section of theTechnical Files located in NASM's Archives downtown which includes folders for most of the Early Birds.

Some members of the Early Birds remained quite active with the organization until the late 1980s. Thematerial in the collection therefore spans over eighty years.
