136 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1958 
M-5 5-cylinder radial air-cooled engine of 55 hp., produced in 1928 for light 
airplanes. (N.A.M. 955.) : 
Evans, RicHaArD, Lathrop, Mo.: Aviation goggles without lenses, reported to 
have belonged to Miss Amelia Harhart, 1929. (N.A.M. 967.) 
FLEMING, Mrs. MARGARET Eppy, La Jolla, Calif.: A collection of kites and related 
material used by William A. Eddy of Bayonne, N.J., who was outstanding 
in the design, construction and use of kites for aerial photography, meteoro- 
logical research, military signaling and other practical purposes during the 
latter period of the nineteenth century. He was assisted in his experiments 
by a grant from the Hodgkins Fund of the Smithsonian Institution. (N.A.M. 
982.) 
Gatry, Mrs. Harorp, Suva, Fiji: A collection of notebooks, papers, and other 
records used and acquired by Harold Gatty during his flight around the 
world with Wiley Post in the Lockheed Vega airplane “Winnie Mae,” June 
23-July 1, 1931, when Mr. Gatty was navigator. (N.A.M. 973.)

HAMILTON, Epwarp G., Old Westbury, L.I., N.Y.: The donor’s original Flight 
Log for the years 1922-1926, including the period in 1924 when he was test

Herrick, Scotr H., AND CORNELL, Mrs. SUZANNE HERRICK, New York, N.Y.: 
The Herrick “Vertoplane”’ of 1937, and devices associated with the aero- 
nautical experiments of the late Girard P. Herrick. This aircraft is an early 
example of the types generally classed as convertoplanes which combine 
the flight performance of airplanes with the vertical-lift, sustentation, and 
descent characteristics of rotorcraft. In July 1937 this piloted aircraft ac- 
complished what is believed to be the first midair conversion from fixed-wing 
to rotary-wing flight. ‘The associated devices received with this aircraft 
include wind-tunnel models, control mechanisms, test models of rotors, and 
instruments. The donors are the children of Mr. Herrick. The assistance of 
Mrs. G. P. Herrick, Ralph McLarren, and John Glennon in obtaining this 
material is gratefully acknowledged. (N.A.M. 994.) 
HueHeEs AircrRAFT Co., Culver City, Calif.: A “Falcon” GAR-1 guided missile,

Alps, and made notable intercity glides. These beautifully made models, 
given to the donor who was a close friend, include the “Wien,” in which 
Kronfeld established world records for motorless flight of 93.15 miles distance 
and 7.084 feet altitude in 1929. He was killed while test piloting an English 
military airplane, 1948. (N.A.M. 989.)
