Who am I and why am I here ? My name is Brad Stump. My wife and I live in Garrett Indiana with our four daughters (all are Garrett High School students or graduates) I am a Purdue University graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in History and a focus on military history, especially on the WWI and WWII period I continue to be a student of military and aviation history focusing on the period from just before WWII through the current day I work for DeKalb County government and I’m currently a Garrett City Councilman I am a former member of the DeKalb County Airport Authority and the Aviation Association of Indiana My task is to act as advisor and a resource for your project. I can help you find resource materials, books and photos for your reports and model building.

A very brief history of aircraft development from 1903 to 1941

World War 1 June, 1914 to November, 1918

Civilian aircraft development from WWI to late 1930’s

Barnstorming in the 20’s

May 21, 1927 Charles Lindbergh crosses the Atlantic ocean solo in a single engine powered high wing monoplane built in 60 days by Ryan Aeronautical Company, San Diego, California. The Spirit had no windows forward since the large fuel tanks obstructed any vision. Lucky Lindy took off and landed looking out a side window. The flight took 33 hours and 33 minutes non-stop.
