			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>THIS Holiday Season we&#8217;re delving into a pair of scrapbooks that were created in the late 20&#8217;s and early 30&#8217;s by an industrious youth, Robert  A. O&#8217;Neil, with a keen interest in all things aviation. The books contain clippings, photos and articles from various aviation pulps as well as other magazines. What has been assembled is a treasure trove of information on planes and aces of WWI.</p>
<p align="justify"><img src="http://www.ageofaces.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/bk2.jpg" align="left" height="144" vspace="5" hspace="5">Like many in the late 20&#8217;s and early 30&#8217;s, Robert O&#8217;Neil was fascinated with aviation and as such, a large part of both volumes of his scrapbooks is taken up with a cataloging of the many different types of planes. </p>
<p>Another great feature from the pulps Robert chose to include in his scrapbooks were Frederick Blakeslee&#8217;s 3 plan views of planes that he rendered for Battle Aces. </p>

<p>Rather than giving each its own page, Robert chose to glue one down along the top edge and then slot a few others beneath it, loose on the page. He had the first four on the first page, three on the second and just two on the third, although he appears to have gotten the September issue as well.</p>
