Chart of U.A.P. Oil Coolers and Valves Part Numbers, showing Interchangeable Old Type and New Diffusion Type, 1942

The collection primarily consists of materials related to James E. P. Sullivan’s work as a designer at United Aircraft Products during World War II, including a company history, product literature, The UAP Pilot newsletters (of which Sullivan was sports editor), and many parts drawings and designs. The collection also includes a small amount of material concerning the work of James’s father, H. Allan Sullivan, in developing the Douglas A-26 Invader aircraft during World War II. The few photographs in the collection depict mainly World War II aircraft (A-26, B-25, etc.), as well as individuals and groups at Chrysler Airtemp, Allison Division of General Motors, and (presumably) Wright Field and/or McCook Field. Materials date between 1918 and 1951, with the bulk of the materials being from the World War II era from 1940 to 1946.
