Creator: Marshall, Fred F., 1891-1974

Summary/Abstract: The Fred F. Marshall Papers reflect Marshall's career as an engineer, aviation journalist,

photographer, environmentalist, and local historian. Marshall was attached to the Signal Corps in

World War I; he then returned to Dayton to work at McCook Field where he was editor of the

aviation journal, Slipstream. Retiring in 1955 after working for several engineering and aircraft

firms, Marshall devoted his time to writing articles dealing with the history of the Yellow

Springs, Clifton, and Cedarville areas of Greene County. The collection includes drafts and

finalized copies of original stories, newspaper clippings, correspondence, certificates, awards,

scrapbooks, as well as a large number of photographs both personal and related to military life in

World War I. Marshall authored a number of local histories including a chronology of the

Wright Brothers. A few items in the collection relate to Fred Marshall’s wife, Faith Marshall.

Biographical/Historical Note:

Fred Franklin Marshall was born in Cedarville, Ohio, in 1891. He graduated from Cedarville

High School, then attended both Cedarville College and Ohio State University, where he

specialized in engineering and journalism. For a period of eight months after leaving the

university, he worked as a train dispatcher for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. During this

time, he studied industrial photography.

After World War I was declared, Marshall was inducted into the Armed Services and was placed

into the photo section of the Signal Corps. For three months he attended the Columbia University

of Cinematography, where he engaged in an intensive study of photography for military usages.

First, he was stationed at the Pathe Brothers factory in Paris, France. Next, he was sent to Hague,

Holland, in October 1918 for the purpose of setting up photographic, cartographic, and

photostatic laboratory equipment. In 1919, he was discharged from the United States Army as a


Second Lieutenant.

He then obtained a position in the Engineering Division of the Air Corps at McCook Field,

Dayton, Ohio. Soon he was working in the Technical Data Branch, where he participated in the

compilation of the first aeronautical dictionary for use in military service. He was employed at

McCook Field for four years.

In 1926 he married Faith Susan Marshall from Spencer, Kentucky. While employed at McCook

Field, Marshall was the editor of a trade paper, known as “Slipstream”. When the publishers of

the only other commercially published aviation paper of the world raised objections,

“Slipstream” was discontinued. In 1923 Marshall resigned his position to inaugurate the

Slipstream Publishing Company. He carried on the publication of the Slipstream Monthly until

1928, at which time he sold his interest to Simmons Publishing Company, New York City.

Marshall was employed by Simmons Publishing Company as an Assistant Editor. The name of

the magazine was changed to Airway Age.

Marshall then worked for Aero Supply Manufacturing Company in Long Island, New York, until

1931, when the company was discontinued. Returning to Dayton, Marshall served as the local

representative for Pump Engineering Service Company (PESCO) of Cleveland, Ohio, until 1943.

At this time he retired from business due to ill health. After recovery, he served as representative

for a number of aircraft manufacturers until 1955.

During these years, Marshall wrote many feature stories and articles for the Cedarville Herald

and the Dayton Daily News.

In 1962, he was named Chairman of the Board of Nominations for the Aviation Hall of Fame.

He resigned as Chairman in 1963, but continued his membership. He became a member of the

Greene County Historical Society and belonged to the Old Mill organization. Involved in

conservation activities, Marshall wrote many articles dealing with areas surrounding Dayton -

Yellow Springs, Clifton Gorge, John Bryan Park, etc. In the early 1970s, he built a log cabin,

constructing it by the same methods used by pioneers. He also compiled the Wright Brothers

Chronology 1903-1908. In 1970 he was honored at a luncheon by the Dayton Area Chamber of

Commerce for outstanding contributions to the research of aviation history.

His wife, Faith, died on September 25, 1972, after suffering a lengthy illness. They had been

married 46 years. Fred Marshall died in December 1974.

Scope and Content: The Fred F. Marshall Papers document the life of a man who was a major contributor to aviation

research and history in the 20th century. Through these papers, researchers may gain insight into

photo journalism during World War I, aviation innovation and history, as well as community life

and issues in Dayton, Ohio, during the 20th century.

Series I, Personal Papers, includes two subseries. The contents document Marshall’s personal

life, military career, and various activities. Subseries IA, General Papers, contains

correspondence dealing with family and personal matters dating from 1940 to 1974. Materials


are arranged chronologically by date. Subseries IB, Military Service, contains newspaper

clippings, correspondence, and general information about Marshall’s military service. Portions of

this series are available online in CORE Scholar.

Series II, Writings and Publications, contains correspondence, rough drafts, final drafts, records,

broadsides, magazines, posters, and a map. It is arranged primarily chronologically. Then, as

the feature stories have no dates, each file contains one feature story. The stories are divided

into: fiction, Indian stories, conservation activities, individual men of the Dayton area, and a

variety of poems. Each file containing one story is arranged with correspondence in the

beginning, then rough drafts, and final drafts at the end. This series also contains the rough and

final drafts of The Wright Brothers Chronology, layouts, and the final story in the Sunday

Magazine, as well as the copyright claim of the Chronology. Portions of this series are available

online in CORE Scholar.

Series III, General Aviation, contains correspondence, magazines, and newspaper clippings

covering Fred Marshall’s interest in aviation as well as his work with the Aviation Hall of Fame

and McCook Field. Material is arranged chronologically.

Series IV, Slipstream, contains correspondence, telegrams, cards, membership applications for

Slipstream, broadsides, volumes of Slipstream, and individual issues. Marshall’s The Wright

Brothers Chronology is serialized and published in three issues of Slipstream. The volumes are

catalogued and shelved with the aviation books.

Series V, PESCO, contains correspondence, certificates, blue books, address books, yearbooks, a

wallet, receipts, and cards all dealing with Fred Marshall’s work at the Pump Engineering

Services Company. Complete information concerning the trial of Marshall in the Renegotiation

Act, with exhibits and trial outcome is included.

Series VI, Audiovisual, contains four subseries. This series contains a number of photographs,

negatives, records, and scrapbooks created by Fred Marshall during his lifetime and serves to

document his various activities. This series should be cross-referenced with the other series in

the collection.

photographs of Fred F. Marshall, Faith Marshall, the Marshall home, the Marshall log cabin,

photographs from Marshall’s feature stories, World War I, aviation, the Wright brothers, and

PESCO. Photographs are arranged by subject and are organized as chronologically as possible.

Portions of this series, including the majority of Marshall’s World War I photographs, are

available online in CORE Scholar.

Subseries VIB, Negatives, contain negatives that belonged to Fred Marshall. Most of these

negatives accompany prints that are housed in the collection. These negatives should be cross-

10 1 9 Victory celebration and Bastille Day, July 14, 1918. Place de la

Concorde from the roof of the Hotel Crillion [Paris, France].

American troops, neatly uniformed and especially picked for the

affair brought tears and cheers from the throngs. “Vive l’Amerique!

Vive la France” rang out from throats choked with emotion. But my

heart went out to the unkempt haunted-faced Pollui. It was his day but

he was too weary of mind and body to be buoyed by cheering throngs

and by flowers thrown at his feet. He wished for but one thing—

home—the arms of his loved ones, and that too, all the more pity

would be denied him. His home was rubble, his loved ones scattered

or gone he knew not where. The celebration went on for weeks—

confetti 4 to 6 inches deep on Place de la Concorde. Boche captured

airplanes ripped apart and hurled from the parapet. Spectators camped

for weeks along the route to view this spectacular celebration and

pageantry. Note the miniature periscopes held by thousands of

sightseers seeking a more elevated view above the teeming throngs.

first tank-on-tank battle in history, at Villers-Bretonneux, 24 April

1918. During the battle, Mephisto got stuck in a shell-hole and was

abandoned by its crew. Australian troops recovered it in July, and it's

consequently the only surviving A7V. It currently resides at the

Queensland Museum in Brisbane.]1
