Photos – Aircraft – (X)B-42, (X)B-43, 1946, undated
Scope and Contents
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.
