Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh are standing at the side of Lockheed Vega Model 5 Executive NC395H airplane while stopping at Bolling Field, Washington, D.C. en route to South America. The five-place monoplane was manufactured during August 1929 by Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, Burbank, California. It left the factory with a Pratt & Whitney Wasp B engine (S/N 1815) of 450 HP. The aircraft was loaned to Col. Lindbergh by Morgan Belmont (1892–1953), the son of August Belmont Jr. who built the Belmont Park Racetrack in New York, for Lindbergh’s 7000 mile South American trip. The Lindberghs took off from Bolling Field, the first stop on their trip (which had begun at Roosevelt Field on Long Island) on September 18, 1929. The Lockheed Vega model was designed by John Knudsen Northrop (1895-1981) and Gerard Freebairn Vultee (1900-1938) and manufactured by Lockheed Aircraft Limited and first flown on July 4, 1927. Lockheed delivered the Vega 5 in 1929."

  • 1921-05
  • Northern Maine
Robert Lindsay Smallidge, Sr's 1921 Harley-Davidson JDS Sidecar Model was identified by fender and sidecard shapes using pictures and description from “The Encyclopedia of the Harley-Davidson” by Peter Henshaw & Ian Kerr, p. 18, 21, 30, 135 - 2006. Corroborating identification was made using several web sites. Judging from photographs of previous Harley-Davidson models we assume that Robert bought the cycle new in anticipation of his honeymoon. Robert and Nathalie's honeymoon was spent exploring northern Maine on Robert's motorcycle and it seems probable that this photograph was taken on that trip. Their son, Robert Lindsay Smallidge Jr. remembered their telling their children that Robert was passing a car while driving the cycle and Nathalie, in the sidecar, collided with the other vehicle. This photograph was probably taken by Helen Nathalie (Turner) Smallidge.
