3.16 cubic feet
898 photographs, 197 lantern slides, and approx.
200 nitrate negatives in 7 boxes and 4 oversize folders
Aviator Bud Morriss collected
photographs of the early years of aviation in the United States, as well as
aviation highlights from elsewhere, including France, Mexico, Canada, Australia
and Great Britain. The collection emphasizes the accomplishments and
personalities of pre-World War I civilian aviation, with members of the Early
Birds of Aviation and the Ninety-Nines well represented.
Photograph captions and papers are in
English.
Many of the prints were given to P.G.B. Morriss as part of the history
of the Early Birds. The locations of the original images are unknown in most
cases.
Biographical Note
Percival George Brockhurst Morriss (1884-1944), a native of England,
learned to fly at Brooklands racetrack in 1909. Soon after that he came to the
United States. A former assistant engineer in the Marconi Wireless Telegraph
Company, he championed the use of wireless to communicate with airplanes in
flight. He worked as a pilot for the Bleriot company, and by 1911 he had become
associated with the Benoist Airplane Company of St. Louis, Mo., as a pilot,
instructor and salesman. He also experimented with taking motion pictures in
flight.
He opened the Bud Morriss Airplane School in Chicago in 1917. During
World War I, Morriss enlisted in the U.S. Navy, and was selected to operate the
Great Lakes Aviation School near Chicago, where he directed the training of
5,000 men. In 1928 he became one of the founding members of the Early Birds of
Aviation, Inc., an organization of pre-World War I flyers, and was elected
their first president. In later years he managed the Hotel Clark in Los
Angeles, where he maintained clubrooms for the Early Birds.
The Early Birds of Aviation, established December 17, 1928, was a
group, eventually numbering nearly 600, in which membership was restricted to
those who had flown solo before World War I. In the United States, the cutoff
date was established at December 17, 1916. In Europe, where the war
necessitated the earlier training of war pilots, the cutoff date was August 4,
1914. Many of the early aviation pioneers had been killed before the group was
organized, but their accomplishments were celebrated all the same.
The collection consists primarily of photographic prints, many of them
inscribed. Also included are associated lantern slides, negatives and
supporting clippings and letters. The material covers the early years of
aviation in the United States, as well as aviation highlights elsewhere,
including France, Mexico, Canada, Australia and Great Britain. The collection
emphasizes the accomplishments and personalities of the pre-World War I era.
Two groups of aviators are well represented: The Early Birds of Aviation and
the Ninety-Nines. Images from these groups are intermingled alphabetically,
along with images of flyers who were never members of either group. Images
post-dating the early 1940s were added after Bud Morriss’s death, possibly by
the donor, A.G.B. Morriss.
The collection is organized into the following series:
- Series A: People, 1902-1961
- Series B: Aircraft, 1905-1964
- Series C: Schools, 1911-1917
- Series D: Other Images, 1911-1938
- Series E: Related Correspondence, Printed Materials, and Other
Papers, 1907-1964
- Series F: Lantern Slides, 1908-1929
The related lantern slides are listed in the folder descriptions for
the series and also are described individually.
The collection is open to the public.

materials is not known, as the collection was partially processed decades ago.
Therefore, an alphabetical arrangement was chosen.
