DATABASE:

02/17/08 DATABASE updated and uploaded to server.

---o0o---

WEBSITE:

05/04/08 Today is the third anniversary of www.dmairfield.org.  There are biographies of 218 (+35% this year) Golden Age pilots and passengers, technographies of 406 (+26%) of their aircraft, descriptions of 17 airfields (+14%). There are nine moving picture sequences online.  The site now contains 5,145 files (up 31% in one year) in 2,303 folders (+30%), and it is 904MB in size (+26%).  There have been 107,416 visits (about 26% are returning visitors) to the site in the past three years (+23% this year), with over 2.6 million page hits.  An additional 28 email contacts were made by relatives of pilots and passengers who signed the Register.  This makes a total of 83 relatives over three years.

03/03/08 Ten new navigation buttons added to the top of each web page. Privacy Policy updated.

02/19/08 www.dmairfield.org is now a tax-exempt, public charity in accordance with U.S. Internal Revenue Code 501(c)3.  Contributions to Delta Mike Airfield, Inc. are deductible under section 170 of the Code.

10/01/07 Total visits to dmairfield were 5,738 in September. That’s the most visitors for any month since the site went global on May 4, 2005. The previous high was 4,000 in April 2007. Thanks, everybody.

05/04/07 Today is the Second Anniversary of www.dmairfield.org.  Our second year was very productive.  The power of the world-wide web is alive and serving well the purposes of the history of our Golden Age of Aviation!

To-date, on www.dmairfield.org, there are biographies of 141 Golden Age pilots and passengers, histories of 302 of their aircraft, descriptions of 25 airfields, and seven moving picture sequences online.  These all document activities related to the Davis-Monthan Airfield between 1925 and 1936.  The site has grown.  It now contains 3,542 files (up 41% in one year) in 1,602 folders (+43%), and it is 669MB in size (+72%).

There have been 57,320 visitors to the site in the past two years (+60%).  An additional 26 contacts were made with your Webmaster by relatives of pilots and passengers who signed the Register.  This makes a total of 56 relatives over two years who, through the world-wide web, have “found” their kin in the Davis-Monthan Airfield Register.  What’s more, these relatives have provided unique images and information that enhance the biographies of their kin on the site: the kind of information you don't find in the history books. My personal thanks to all of them (you know who you are).

An article was published in the 50th Anniversary volume of the Journal of the American Aviation Historical Society last spring describing the operations of Standard Air Lines through Tucson during the late 1920s.  You may download that article here.

Separately, an e-commerce website, www.oldairfield.com, was officially brought online January 2, 2007.  Profits from oldairfield.com are directly donated to support the research activities and web hosting for dmairfield.org.

Among the range of products available at oldairfield.com, three books have been published this year about the people, airplanes and events documented in the Davis-Monthan Airfield Register.  Purchase of these books, likewise, supports the research and maintenance of dmairfield.org.  They are available for your enjoyment at these links:

1) “The Register of the Davis-Monthan Airfield 1925-1936”.  This book contains clear copies of all 218 pages of the Register, as well as three chapters of cross-reference tables arranged alphabetically and numerically that make it simple to identify and find individual pilots and aircraft.

2) “Art Goebel’s Own Story” by Art Goebel.  This autobiography of a Register signer provides insight into the aviation, logistical and entrepreneurial skills of pilot Art Goebel.

3) “Military Aircraft of the Davis-Monthan Airfield 1925-1936”.  This book examines 850 landings by military aircraft at the Airfield.  It provides biographical insight into the lives of some of the pilots, as well as black & white photographs of their airplanes.

---o0o---

05/04/06 Today is the First Anniversary of this website. To-date there are biographies of 107 pilots/passengers, histories of 256 aircraft and descriptions of 25 airports online. This total of 388 entities represents, on average, over one entity per day being placed online to document activities at the Davis-Monthan Airfield between 1925 and 1936. There have been 22,082 visitors to the site in one year. For the nerds among you, the site contains 2,088 files in 908 folders, and it is 187MB in size.
