Log Books

In 1934 Tony flew his own airplane known as a 'Buhl Pup'. It is a mid-wing single place airplane with a three-cylinder, forty-five Czekely engine.
Tony Flew two gliders which are documented on this log book. He flew the Iron Horse which is a handmade glider. He also flew the Baker-McMillan Cadet glider. This is a high-wing, strut-braced, open-cockpit, single-seat  glider designed in 1929. The Cadet is built with a steel tube fuselage and a wooden wing that is supported by dual parallel struts, with jury struts. The tail is a wire-braced wooded structure. The whole aircraft is covered in doped aircraft fabric covering. It was designed as an aircraft  that would offer soaring capability.
In the logbooks below, the Franklin glider was flown. It  is a high-wing, strut-braced, single seat glider produced by the Franklin Glider Corporation starting in 1930. It is constructed with a steel tube fuselage and a wooden wing, all covered in doped aircraft fabric covering. The wings lack spoilers of other glide-path control devices and are supported by dual, parallel struts. The landing gear is a fixed monowheel and a skid. See below.
A few flights in a Piper Cub J2 and J3 from 1938 to 1943
This logbook depicts all of Tony's flights as a pilot. By 1972 cooking gas was difficult to purchase due to a natural gas shortage. Hydrogen gas was becoming expensive. Tony went to England and purchased a Western Balloon System. He called his first hot air balloon the Ladybug. After 1972, the logbook shows his flights were mostly with hot air balloons with an occasional gas flight.
