Oklahoma City Municipal Airport, 1936 and 1937

[Don Pyeatt]

This is a collection of photos made by a deceased local aviation historian,
and close friend, of aircraft at Oklahoma City during 1936 and 1937. Mr.
Roger Cripliver was 18 and 19 years of age when he took these pictures. I
have scanned them for the Fort Worth Public Library where they now reside.

File names begin with letters A-B-C and include a date (YMD) to denote
different cameras and films used.

Any information on the airport's history would be appreciated.

I don't have any information about the airport, but the scans are excellent
and good on you for doing it. It would be a shame if these photos had been
lost to history.

Attached: Some shots of my father parachuting with the Washington (DC)
Parachute Club probably back in the 1930s or 40s. The car appears to be a
mid-1930s Chevy but if anyone can narrow that down it would help.
