Scope and content

Photograph showing the words “Tex Rankin School of Flying “ and artwork by A. G. Weber on the side of a Stinson Detroiter monoplane named On-To-Oregon. The photograph was taken on August 15, 1930, at the Rankin School of Flying in Portland, while mechanics were preparing the plane for an attempt by brothers Tex Rankin, Dick Rankin, and Dud Rankin to set an endurance flying record. The Rankins made four unsuccessful attempts at the record in August 1930. A cropped version of this photograph, along with image Nos. 371N6022 and 371N6024, was published on Page 3 of the Oregon Journal on August 15, 1930. The photographs were published under the headline “Almost Ready to Go Up and Stay Up.” They accompanied a story titled “Rankins Plan to Take Off Sunday.” This photograph had the following caption: “The name ‘On-to-Oregon’ and picture of the covered wagon and oxen on the plane’s side.” Also see image Nos. 371N6017, 371N6022, 371N6023, 371N6024, 371N6025, 371N6060, 371N6064, 371N6103, 371N6120, 371N6121, 371N6129, 371N6130, 371N6132, 371N6133, 371N6134, 371N6138, 371N6199, 371N6206, 371N6207, 371N6221, 371N6227, 371N6228, 371N6233, and 371N6234.
