    Charles Lindbergh with pilots from Bombing Squadron VB-2B aboard the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga (CV-3). Lindbergh visited the USS Saratoga on 8 February 1929. He was aboard for two days and while he was there he was invited to fly the new Boeing F3B-1. The VB-2B made him an honorary member of the squadron. Date Taken February 1928 The U.S. Navy National Museum of Naval Aviation has this photo in their collection (Photo No. 1989.119.002). That is where I found this information.

    Note, to Lindbergh's right, the mustached naval aviator. That is (then) Lieutenant William V. Davis, Jr. In August 1927, Lt. Davis participated in the historic (and tragic) Dole Air Race, which offered a prize to entrants who completed a non-stop flight between Oakland, California, and Honolulu, Hawaii. Davis was the navigator for winning entry, a Travel-Air 5000 named "Woolaroc" (registration NX869), piloted by Art Goebbel. Davis would go on to further distinction as a Naval Aviator and officer in the years ahead - including becoming the second naval aviator to fly faster than the speed of sound as he piloted the Douglas D-558-2 Skyrocket in 1949.

    A great wee bit of history in this. Do you know whether they were successful in their attempt to get lower rents - or does the title of this mean they were evicted?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Vab2009 No other information yet, but would love to find out more information about the Plan of Campaign in the Mitchelstown area, the landlord(s) involved, and would die happy if anyone knows about the O'Sullivans in particular...

    And two doors down is the local cop shop! There is a very good article on Wikipedia on the plan of campaign and it appears that the Tipperary and North Cork areas were deeply involved. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_of_Campaign The Plan of Campaign was a stratagem adopted in Ireland between 1886 and 1891, co-ordinated by Irish politicians for the benefit of tenant farmers, against mainly absentee and rack-rent landlords. It was launched to counter agricultural distress caused by the continual depression in prices of dairy products and cattle from the mid 1870s, which left many tenants in arrears with rent. Bad weather in 1885 and 1886 also caused crop failure, making it harder to pay rents. The Land War of the early 1880s was about to be renewed after evictions increased and outrages became widespread.
