Collection Name	George King Collection
Identifier	UAF-1988-131-CO1
Title	George King Collection, Album 1.
Description	The George King Collection describes in photographs and manuscript material early aviation in Alaska. There are two series in this collection. The first series consists of five photograph albums and two folders of loose photographs. The second series is made up of diaries, correspondence, scrapbooks, and miscellaneous material . The Photograph albums (Series One) cover the years from approximately 1915 through 1964. Some of the major areas covered in the albums are aeronautics and mining. Of particular interest are the photos and clippings on the search for Carl Ben Eielson who was not only a renowned Alaskan bush pilot but a partner and personal friend of George King. There are photographs of aeronautic expeditions such as the Wilkins Arctic Expedition, bush pilots including Joe Crosson and Carl Ben Eielson, and scenes from around Alaska. There is a series of photographs of European scenes taken while George King worked for the Junkers Corporation. There are also scenes from Russia when he was in that country coordinating an over-the-pole flight; while there, he was instrumental in helping to organize the Russian search effort for Carl Ben Eielson. George King was a member of the "Ancient and Secret Order of Quiet Birdmen" and Series Two contains that order's handbook and other materials pertaining to the organization.
