Biographical/Historical Note:

A native of Troy, Ohio, Bill graduated from Troy High School in 1951. He was employed by

General Motors Aero Products for fifteen months before going on to Spartan School of

Aeronautics in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he received FAA Airframe and Power Plant certificates,

as well as a Private Pilot’s certificate in 1954.

He worked as an aircraft mechanic for Southern Ohio Aviation Company, an Aero

Commander/Navion dealership in the Dayton area for seventeen years, the last twelve years as

mechanic/crew-chief. He worked on corporate twin engine aircraft for many large companies

and famous people such as: WLW Broadcasting Co., Anchor-Hocking Glass Co. United States

Forestry Service, State of Ohio, State of West Virginia, State of Kentucky, Jack Nicklaus, the

Kettering family, and was the mechanic for the jet airplane used by the Mercury Astronauts.

Bill was always looking for a better, easier way to do things. In 1963, he developed a tool used

to jack-up an aircraft so as not to damage the plane. For this he received special recognition

from the FAA and was the recipient the Outstanding Aviation Mechanic’s Award for the State of

Ohio. Only one Ohioan is chosen each year to receive this prestigious award.

After receiving his teaching credentials from University of Cincinnati in 1971, he joined the staff

at the newly opened Montgomery County Joint Vocational School (now known as Miami Valley

Career Technology Center) as an instructor in their FAA Certified Aircraft Mechanic’s program.

It was during his tenure there that he gained certification as a Designated Mechanic’s Examiner.

After twenty-three years in education, he retired in 1994. He had the privilege of training and

mentoring many fine students, five of whom earned first place awards in the State and National

VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America) Skills Contests receiving scholarships for further

training, fully equipped tool boxes and great job offers. He was able to place students in jobs in

the aircraft field. He maintained contact with former students over the years, often being able to

help them up-grade to better jobs.

Scope and Content The William Laufer Collection is a collection of aircraft maintenance materials used by Mr.

Laufer during his career as an aircraft mechanic and as a teacher at the Miami Valley Career

Technology Center. The collection consists of training maintenance manuals for aircraft, aircraft

engines, and a wide variety of aircraft parts. Also included are parts catalogs and sales brochures

for aircraft, engines, propellers, and aircraft parts. The collection is divided into eight series.

Series I, Aircraft Maintenance Training (1943-1988) contains material used to train aircraft

mechanics. A large part of this series are training manuals prepared by the Aviation

Maintenance Foundation, Inc. during the 1970s. Also included in this series are manuals for

military training courses developed by both the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force. The series ends

with a variety of training manuals developed by the aircraft industry or individuals.

Series II, Federal Guidance and Technical Orders (1919-1986) is divided into two sections. The

first section contains guidance issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or its

predecessor, the Civil Aeronautics Authority (CAA). Within this section the guidance is

grouped according to the issuing agency. The second section is Technical Orders issued by a

variety of agencies for the overhaul or maintenance of aircraft or their parts.

Series III, Aircraft Manuals, Parts Catalogs, and Sales Brochures (1928-1998) is the largest of

the eight series. This series is organized according to manufacturer and then chronologically

within each manufacturer. Twenty-one manufacturers are listed in this section with the largest

being Beechcraft, Cessna, Douglas, Piper, and WACO. Of note for researchers are the Service

Bulletins and Parts Catalogs for the Douglas DC-3/C-47.

Series IV, Aircraft Engine Maintenance Manuals, Parts Catalogs, and Sales Brochures (1932-

1992) is organized by manufacturer and then chronologically within each manufacturer.

Fourteen manufacturers are listed in this section with the largest being the Continental Aircraft

Engine Company, Pratt and Whitney Aircraft, and Wright Aeronautical Corporation (Curtiss-

Wright Aeronautical Corporation). Along with maintenance and overhaul manuals, there are a

large number of Parts Catalogs for the aircraft engines, particularly Wright Aeronautical

Engines.

Series V, Propeller Maintenance Manuals, Parts Catalogs, and Sales Brochures (1937-1977) is

organized by manufacturer and then chronologically within each manufacturer. Six propeller

manufacturers are listed in this series including Aeroproducts, Beech, Curtiss, Hamilton

Standard, Hartzell, and McCauley.

Series VI, General Aircraft Parts Catalogs, Maintenance Manuals, and Sales Brochures (1938-

1993) is another very large series with forty-four manufacturers listed. The series is organized

by manufacturer and then chronologically with manufacturer. The types of parts included are

spark plugs, aircraft hoses and fittings, radios and communication systems, magnetos, fuel

injection systems, generators and electric starters, aircraft tires and breaks, batteries, landing

gear, navigation lights, automatic pilots, and gyroscopes. The manufacturer with the largest

representation in this series is Bendix Corporation, including Eclipse-Pioneer Electric Starters

and Generators and Bendix-Scintilla Magnetos.

Series VII, General Aviation Information (1923-1997) is divided into eleven sections. The first

sections includes aeronautical charts for a variety of cities/regions in the United States most of

which are dated during the 1960s. The second section is WACO Aircraft General Information

contains general information about WACO aircraft. Mr. Laufer was a volunteer at the WACO

Historical Society and Museum. The third section is general information on the Wright Brothers

which contains serval brochures. The fourth section contains Aircraft Mechanic Publications

such as Pocket Manuals for aircraft mechanics and similar information. The fifth section

contains Aviation Publications produced by a variety of people and organizations. The sixth

section contains newsletters for several different organizations. The seventh section contains

information on Dayton Air Shows from 1974 to 1979. The eight section contains information on

the Aviation Hall of Fame from 1968 to 1975. Mr. Laufer was a charter member of the

organization. The ninth section contains general information on a variety of topics including the

Curtiss OX-5 aircraft engine, magazine articles, and information on several aviators including

Jimmy Doolittle and Roscoe Turner. Of particular note is a file on Charles Lindbergh, including

a newspaper article “And Then I Jumped” by Lindbergh. The tenth section contains wall charts

and aviation posters providing information on aviation. The eleventh, and last section, contains

other information, such as the “Mechanic’s Creed,” log books, and a 3-ring binder containing

general information about commuter aircraft – primarily photographs and typed information

about different commuter aircraft..

Series VIII, Audio and Visual Material (1929-1997) contains VHS tapes, 8 mm film, 16 mm

film, two photograph albums containing photographs of WACO aircraft and the WACO factory,

photograph of aircraft, and aviation artwork. The VHS tapes and film primarily contain footage

of WACO Glider Aircraft, WACO aircraft in general, and National Air Races footage. The

aviation artwork includes aviation art produced by Leach Corporation, Thompson Products, Inc.,

and Phillips Petroleum. There are also 13 color advertisements for a variety of aviation-related

products by a variety of companies. The last item in the series is a Vehicle Flag produced by G.

Q. Security Parachutes, Inc.
