	Fairchild Aerial Photography Collection at Whittier College
		All of the photographs in the Collection were produced by Fairchild Aerial Surveys, Inc., or its subsidiaries and contractors during the period of 1927-1965, and are mostly fl-and-white, vertical images.
		Sherman Fairchild was born in 1896 in Oneonta, New York.
		Fairchild developed a camera in which the shutter was placed inside the lens; this design was fast enough to produce photographs with minimal distortion.

	Fairchild History
		Fairchild began the development and manufacture of airplanes which soon established him as the largest supplier of civilian transport aircraft in the country.
		Fairchild built the first aircraft specifically designed to airline specifications, the model 100-A Pilgrim which was built in 1931 for American Airways (now American Airlines).
		The Fairchild C-82 and C-119 series pioneered the large-scale aerial delivery of military equipment and supplies and was the first successful military transport specifically designed to accommodate the post-World War II concept of an all-air Army.

	Sherman Fairchild Bio
		Panagra uses Fairchilds in regular service over the towering Andes, while Richard E. Byrd and Bernt Balchen make the first flights over Antarctica in their "stars and stripes." Later, Fairchild's improved model 71 finds wide use in Alaska and Canada, as well as by the military for cargo and photo work.
		Soon after his newly-created Fairchild engine corporation begins work on the "Ranger" engine, Sherman acquires interest in the "superplane." He also buys into the West Indian Aerial Express operating between Cuba and Puerto Rico and, in exchange for this important holding, is elected a director of Pan American Airways.
		Fairchild valiantly struggles to keep alive the development of a 10-passenger airliner, while the aviation corporation staggers from losses in its airline operations.

	Aero: Fairchild
		Sherman M. Fairchild was born in Oneonta, New York, in 1895.

	Sherman M. Fairchild
		Fairchild was not only an indefatigable investor in those fields, but his inquiring mind also led to patents on such disparate products as engraving mechanisms and carriers for fruit picking (the latter his last patent at age 73).
		Fairchild's curiosity and inventive mind were obvious early and they were encouraged by his father, who was a remarkable man himself.
		Fairchild was honored by his scientific and technological colleagues with fellowships in the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences and in the Royal Aeronautical Society.

		Started in 1957 by Sherman Mills Fairchild under the umbrella of his Fairchild Semiconductor in itself was well known as one of the pioneers in semiconductor research (Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce, co-founders of Intel got their start there).
		Fairchild responded in kind by changing the name of their console to the Fairchild Channel F. However, the blocky graphics were starting to show their age already (if you can believe that) when compared against the 2600's higher resolution blocky graphics.
		By 1978, Fairchild had only released 21 cartridges for the Channel F, and the consoled that had changed home gaming consoles for ever was dead after only a year and 4 months on the market.

		Sherman Fairchild became fascinated with photography and airplanes at a young age.
		In 1924, Fairchild had such a demand for aerial photography that he started his own company, Fairchild Aerial Surveys, Inc. A pilot-cameraman team would be sent out to photograph things of interest such as skyscrapers, college campuses, private estates, hotels, and resorts and then would try to sell them to their respective owners or institutions.
		Fairchild’s love of airplanes and photography merged together at a young age and he created a very successful corporation that contributed to many cities around America.

	Innovative Use of Information Technology by Colleges
		The Sherman Fairchild Library was dedicated in January 1997 and has a staff of one director, three librarians, and three support staff who serve 85 faculty members, 400 graduate students, and 325 undergraduates.
		It was clear from their comments and those of faculty members that a shared vision of what the Sherman Fairchild could do for the work of Caltech, a vision that Sturtevant ably and energetically advanced among all constituents, was critical to his success.
		There were also those who said that they like going to the Sherman Fairchild to read because of the sheer attractiveness of the building and the pleasure of working in "a scholarly environment." Several admitted that the aesthetic appeal of the library had done much to win them over.
