Benjamin Monroe Anderson is a native of Oklahoma and graduated from the
University of Texas at Austin in 1939 with a B.A. degree in geology. His father
is Frank E. Anderson who founded Anderson, Clayton and Company, along with his
brother and brother-in-law in 1904 in Oklahoma City.
After graduating from college, Benjamin Monroe Anderson joined Marvin
Greenwood and Lomis Slaughter, Jr., in founding Anderson, Greenwood and Company
in 1940 to build light airplanes. However, World War II put and end to their
plans. The three men moved to Seattle to work for Boeing Company. After the
war, the men revived their company building light airplanes, doing aeronautical
engineering and eventually building one of the 100 largest public companies in
Houston.
Anderson became an avid collector of books, paintings, watercolors and
memorabilia related to aviation. F. E. F. Prince, a Royal Air Force Pilot
during World War II, helped Anderson to build the collection, much of which is
British in origin.
The biographical note is based on the following article. Houghton,
Dorothy Knox Howe. 1994. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Anderson to be honored at "flying for
fondren" gala. The Flyleaf (Winter): 2-3.

The Anderson Aeronautical Historical collection consists of materials
related to aeronautics acquired by Anderson in the course of his life. The
collection contains printed materials, such as pilot manuals, mechanic notes,
research reports, commercial brochures and other matter. In addition, the
collection contains photos, postcards, scrapbooks, unassembled models, and two
films.
The main focus of the collection is on European areonautics with British
flight the main focus within that, although aeronautics within the United
States is also well represented. Materials related to the two World Wars and
passenger flight are also represented. The dates for the collection range from
1784 to 1988 with the bulk of the material covering the years 1900 to 1960. The
collection consists of 67 boxes and one map drawer of oversize.
Significant or unusual items include a 1784 pronouncement by the
Parisian police ballooning over Paris and the photographs and printed materials
related to the early days of heavier-than-air flight prior to 1918.
The strengths of the collection include a focus on the early days of
flight including lighter-than-aircraft and the advent of airplanes. There are
numerous photos and printed materials prior to 1918. The focus of the
collection is primarily on aeronautical developments in Great Britain, the
United States, and to a lesser extent Europe in general. Developments in
Africa, Asia, Australia and South America are not well documented.

Series I: Models
1918-1982, n.d.; 24 boxes, 24 cubic feet.
|
| The models are primarily plastic commercial models most of which
are still in their boxes with the original cellophane wrapping intact. However,
there are a few hand-made models, including a metal World War I-era Spad. The
types of aircraft represented range from models of single-engine monoplanes
prior to 1914 to jets of the 1970s. The models are listed by box and are not
organized in any particular order. Each model is described by the name of the
plane on the box followed by the scale of the model and special series if
available, which is followed by the manufacturer. |

Series V: Photographs and Images,
1909-1974 15 boxes, 7.5 cubic feet.
|
| The photographs include a wide-variety of techniques: albumen
prints, Gelatin POP and Gelatin DOP images. The subjects include numerous
original photos of early balloons and airplanes from the early 1900s. The
pre-World War I airplane photographs cover numerous and varied planes, some of
which proved to be successful designs and some that were simply failures. The
collection also includes numerous reprints of historic photos. |
| The lantern slides include a nearly complete selection of painted
slides from the early 1900s depicting the history of aeronautics. Other lantern
slides from that same time period depict various gliders, balloons, and early
airplanes. One of the more interesting series of slides depicts what appears to
be a complicated steam powered airplane that dwarfs its crew and
bystanders. |
| The postcards range from the early 1900s to the late 1960s. They are
sorted more or less by the natural division of plane evolution marked by the
periods before, during and after World War I and World War II. |

| | | Images and Postcards |
| | | | Box 59 through box 64 consist of postcards and images, usually
photos, that were inserted into scrapbooks. The scrapbook images were organized
by year, by theme within each year with some pages labeled. In general, the
majority of the images focus on the planes of Great Britain, although other
nations, including the United States, Germany, and France are well represented.
The processor of this collection removed the images from the
acidic pages and placed them into folders that follow the same organizational
scheme as the scrapbooks. Wherever possible, the folder titles also follow the
thematic labeling of the scrapbook. Some images were identified and some were
not. The processor copied the original captions, usually written on the
scrapbook pages, onto the back of the postcards and images. Those captions are
enclosed in square brackets. Where possible items are described as photos or
postcards within this finding aid. Many of the photographs and postcards are
from the period, however some photographs appear to have been reproduced from
originals. Many aircraft recognition cards printed by Valentine & Sons
Ltd., Dundee and London are included among the photos and postcards. Some of
the photo reproductions were supplied by the British Imperial War Museum. Numerous abbreviations are used throughout this collection of
images and postcards. The abbreviation m.f. or m/f is frequently used with
dates written in the following format: m.f. day.month.year. The abbreviation
m.f. or m/f may stand for the year of manufacture or maiden flight, but the
abbreviation form is uncommon. The images appear to be organized according to
year of manufacture. Other abbreviations include R.F.C. for Royal Flying Corps,
R.N.A.S. for Royal Naval Air Service, R.A.F. for Royal Air Force, and F.T.C.
for flight training school to name a few. |
