Philo 'Phil' White Lund family beside a Travel Air S-6000B at Boeing Field, Seattle, Washington, USA, 1930

It was owned by the Black & Decker Tool Co. to which Philo 'Phil' White Lund (Philo's father) was the Northwest Manager. Prior to that he worked for the US Air Mail Service based in Cheyenne, Wyoming, headquarters for the Mountain Division that stretched over the Continental Divide, 400 air miles (644 km) to Salt Lake City. Phil Lund, seen on the left in this test stand photo, maintained and overhauled Liberty engines. (All photos in this collection taken at Cheyenne, Wyoming came from Phil Lund.)
