Featured Collections and Resources
The Aviation Safety and Security Archives preserves and provides access to unique collections documenting the history and development of aviation safety around the world. These featured resources include archival papers, organizational records, technical publications and historical materials that support research in accident investigation, flight safety and aviation maintenance.
Highlights include the Flight Safety Foundation’s Jerry Lederer Aviation Safety Library, the historical records of the International Society of Air Safety Investigators (ISASI) and archival materials related to aviation maintenance and professional practice. Together, these collections provide valuable insight into the individuals, organizations and research that have shaped modern aviation safety standards and procedures.
The Flight Safety Foundation’s Jerry Lederer Aviation Safety Library is now part of the Aviation Safety and Security Archives at Embry?Riddle Aeronautical University. The Lederer Library is named in honor of Jerome “Jerry” Lederer (1902-2004), founder and long-time director of the Flight Safety Foundation, in recognition of Lederer's life-long devotion to and leadership in improving flight safety.
The FSF Lederer Library contains:
- The Jerome Lederer Papers, documenting the life and career of the “father of aviation safety.”
- Records and publications documenting the Flight Safety Foundation's work to improve global aviation safety.
- An extensive library of books and reports on aviation safety topics.
Through the relocation of the FSF Lederer Library, the rich resources collected by the Flight Safety Foundation and Jerry Lederer have been joined with the extensive holdings of the Archives to form an even more robust resource for aviation safety research.
The Lederer Papers contain correspondence, speeches, articles, reports, photographs, news clippings, publications, an oral history interview and memorabilia spanning Lederer's entire career.
Included are records relating to a number of aviation insurance companies, including Barber and Baldwin, Aero Insurance Underwriters, Aerotech Insurance Underwriters, Aero Engineering and Advisory Service, and Charles A. Rheinstrom, Inc. The collections also contain documents relating to Lederer's time as director of the Civil Aeronautics Board Safety Bureau (1940-1942), as well as his work for the Airlines War Training Institute (1942-1943).
Lederer's work as technical director of the Flight Safety Foundation (1948-1967) and its predecessor organization Aviation Engineering for Safety (1947-1948), as well as his concurrent position as director of the Cornell-Guggenheim Aviation Safety Center (1950-1967), is well represented. Records related to Aviation Crash Injury Research/Aviation Safety and Engineering Research (AvCIR/AvSER) are included in the Flight Safety Foundation and Cornell-Guggenheim Aviation Safety Center records. Lederer's continuing association with Flight Safety Foundation after his 1967 retirement from the Foundation is also documented in the collection.
The Lederer Papers also include documents relating to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the space program, notably Lederer's work as director of the Office of Manned Space Flight Safety for the Apollo program as well as his subsequent position as director of safety for NASA.
In addition, the Lederer Papers contain writings, speeches and other presentations by Lederer spanning his career. Additional writings by Lederer can be found in the publications of Aero Insurance Underwriters and the Flight Safety Foundation. Also documented is Lederer's involvement with the aviation safety work of government agencies, associations and organizations, and various committees. The collection also includes correspondence and biographical materials, as well as documents relating to the numerous awards and honors that he received.
Information on other individuals, writings by these individuals and correspondence between other individuals and Lederer may be found in the "Other Individuals" series. However, the bulk of Lederer's correspondence (including correspondence with individuals listed in the "Other Individuals" series) is filed in the "Correspondence Series." The collection also documents Lederer's involvement in the Air Mail Pioneers and also includes files on other aviation history topics.
The Flight Safety Foundation Jerry Lederer Aviation Safety Library is available to FSF members as well as members of the Embry?Riddle community, safety scientists and investigators, aviation safety personnel, academic researchers and others interested in aviation safety and the history of aviation.
Resources may be used on-site in the Aviation Safety and Security Archives on Embry?Riddle's Prescott, Arizona, campus. Remote reference services are also available. Contact the Archives for more information.

Jerome Fox "Jerry" Lederer is often called the "father of aviation safety." He began his career as an aeronautical engineer for the U.S. Air Mail Service in the 1920s, prior to becoming chief engineer for Aero Insurance Underwriters, one of the world's largest aviation insurance companies at that time. In addition to assessing aviation risks for the company, Lederer carried out safety audits and educational programs, and produced a widely acclaimed safety newsletter. In 1940, Lederer was named director of the newly created Civil Aeronautics Board Safety Bureau, a forerunner to the National Transportation Safety Board. He left the Safety Bureau in 1942 for a position with the Airlines War Training Institute.
In the aftermath of a Lockheed Constellation accident in 1946, Lederer organized a meeting to discuss ways to disseminate safety information. The Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) was formed in 1947 as a result of this meeting, and Lederer served as its director until 1967. Lederer also was director of the Cornell-Guggenheim Aviation Safety Center from 1950 to 1967. Upon his retirement from FSF, Lederer was asked to establish an Office of Manned Space Flight Safety for NASA to address safety issues in the Apollo Program following the January 1967 launch-pad fire that killed three astronauts. Lederer retired from NASA in 1972 but continued to be an advocate for aviation safety until his death in 2004 at age 101.

The Airlines War Training Institute (AWTI) was an unincorporated association of 19 American airlines that was formed in August 1942 to meet the need for air transport personnel to support the war effort. Lederer served as vice president and head of AWTI's administrative section. In October 1943, AWTI was formally disbanded, having met the needs of Air Transport Command through the training of approximately 12,000 flight crew and 35,000 ground personnel. This series contains materials related to the organization, primarily AWTI publications.

Lederer served as director of the Cornell-Guggenheim Aviation Safety Center from 1950 until 1967. He held this position concurrently while serving as managing director of the Flight Safety Foundation. The Safety Center, which had accomplished its mandate to make aviation as safe as transportation by train, was closed soon after Lederer's retirement from the directorship. This series contains records related to the Safety Center and its work. Also included is information on the Crash Injury Research program originally established by Hugh deHaven at Cornell University Medical School. The aviation side of the program (which also included automotive safety) was transferred to the Cornell-Guggenheim Center following the center's establishment in 1950. It was renamed Aviation Crash Injury Research (AvCIR) and was later known as Aviation Safety and Engineering Research (AvSER). Additional materials related to AvCIR/AvSER, which became a subsidiary of the Flight Safety Foundation in 1959, can be found in the "Flight Safety Foundation" series.

The Flight Safety Foundation has its origins in two organizations formed in the late 1940s. In 1947, a meeting organized by Lederer led to the creation of Aircraft Engineering for Safety, an organization focused on the dissemination of safety information. Shortly afterward, this group merged with another group that had been formed to study cockpit design, and the combined organization adopted the name of the second group, Flight Safety Foundation. Lederer served as managing director of the Foundation from its formation until 1967. This series contains records relating to the activities of the Flight Safety Foundation and Lederer's work with the Foundation.

The Mechanic's Creed was originally written by Jerome Lederer in 1941. The creed appeared on the back cover of the first issues of the Flight Safety Foundation's Aviation Mechanics Bulletin in 1953 and proved to be extremely popular. Mechanics around the world, "from Tokyo to Frankfurt, from Canada to Puerto Rico," wrote to request copies to hang in their offices and shops.
Mechanic's Creed
Upon my honor I swear that I shall hold in sacred trust the rights and privileges conferred upon me as a certified mechanic. Knowing full well that the safety and lives of others are dependent upon my skill and judgment, I shall never knowingly subject others to risks which I would not be willing to assume for myself, or for those dear to me.
In discharging this trust, I pledge myself never to undertake work or approve work which I feel to be beyond the limits of my knowledge; nor shall I allow any non-certificated superior to persuade me to approve aircraft or equipment as airworthy against my better judgment; nor shall I permit my judgment to be influenced by money or other personal gain; nor shall I pass as airworthy aircraft of equipment about which I am in doubt, either as a result of direct inspection or uncertainty regarding the ability of others who have worked on it to accomplish their work satisfactorily.
I realize the grave responsibility which is mine as a certified airman, to exercise my judgment on the airworthiness of aircraft and equipment. I, therefore, pledge unyielding adherence to these precepts for the advancement of aviation and for the dignity of my vocation.
A copy of this creed suitable for framing will be sent to any mechanic who sends his name and address to Flight Safety Foundation, Inc., 471 Park Avenue, New York 22, New York.
Exhibits and Displays
The Aviation Safety and Security Archives features a variety of exhibits and displays that highlight unique materials from the collections and showcase the history of aviation safety, accident investigation and aerospace research. These exhibits provide visitors with an opportunity to explore photographs, reports, artifacts, publications and archival documents that illustrate the development of aviation safety practices and the individuals and organizations that shaped the field.
Through collaborations with the Hunt Library’s Special Collections and Aviation Safety Center, these exhibits offer a closer look at the depth and diversity of the archives while promoting awareness of the historical significance of aviation safety and security research.
To celebrate American Archives Month in October 2010, the Aviation Safety and Security Archives (ASASA) and the Library's Special Collections collaborated on a display in the Hazy Library highlighting some items from the collections. To complement the physical display in the Library, this virtual exhibit provides more information on items from the display as well as highlights some additional items that are not in the Library display.
Featured Displays
The Aviation Safety and Security Archives has investigation case files on hundreds of accidents. These case files — from the papers of David S. Hall, David Haddon Holladay, S. Harry Robertson and Richard G. Snyder — provide information that helps us learn valuable lessons from aircraft accidents to help prevent future accidents. The case files also offer valuable insight into the investigative process and the methods used by these accident investigators.
One of the case files in the David S. Hall papers focuses on a Cessna 210 accident that occurred in Riesel, Texas, on April 1, 1985.
Investigators at the scene found that the aircraft had impacted trees and suffered a significant post-impact fire.
In addition to photographs of the crash site, sketches of the wreckage distribution were made to document what investigators found at the site.
The probable cause of the accident was found to be engine failure due to oil starvation following an engine overhaul.
In addition to accident investigation case files, the Aviation Safety and Security Archives has resources that focus on the accident investigation process, including the challenges that investigators may face because of the accident location or other factors.
One example of these challenges is an investigation of an accident where the wreckage is underwater, as illustrated in this image from the David Haddon Holladay Papers.
On Aug. 1, 1964, a Cessna 310-H crashed into the ocean near Manhattan Beach, California. The pilot had reported instrument loss prior to the crash.
The NTSB investigation did not recover the wreckage. A subsequent investigation conducted by David Haddon Holladay retrieved major portions of the wreckage for further examination.
This diagram shows the position of the aircraft on the ocean floor as described by divers. The right wing and empennage were not located.
Many of the safety scientists whose papers are in the Aviation Safety and Security Archives worked to improve the crashworthiness of aircraft in order to increase passenger protection from impact forces during an accident.
One example from the S. Harry Robertson Papers is the testing of experimental energy-absorbing seats developed by Bell Helicopter for the OH-58A helicopter. These tests were conducted in 1970-1971 by Robertson and others at Arizona State University's Engineering Research Center and were designed to assess the ability of the seats to protect occupants from high-vertical impact acceleration. The test program evaluated the dynamic performance of three seat designs: a newly designed experimental seat, the production OH-58A crew seat and a modification to the existing production seat design.
The test program used a Sierra Engineering Company anthropometric dummy to simulate the pilot and/or copilot. The 200 lb., six-foot tall dummy was designed to the anthropometry of a 95th percentile U.S. Air Force crewman based on data from a 1950 survey.
In addition to its collections of the papers of leading figures in aviation safety, the Aviation Safety and Security Archives also holds many publications on aviation safety, aviation accidents and accident investigation.
These pages come from a booklet titled "Ten Easy Ways of Breaking Your Bones in a Private Aircraft Accident," part of the Aviation Research Collection in the Archives.
Many subject files on various aviation safety topics may be found in the Aviation Safety and Security Archives. Among these are the files in the C. O. Miller Papers about the Martin-Baker seat and ejection seats in general.
Publications in the ejection seat files include an article by Sir James Martin in which he relates his involvement and experiences in ejection seat design. The U.S. Air Forces in Europe published a pamphlet — simply titled "Eject! "— that brought together selected articles about egress and ejection equipment in order to provide a handy reference for aircrew.
The Martin-Baker seat was also the subject of numerous cartoons and other humorous treatments.
Special Collections
Historic publications make up the core of the Aviation and Aerospace History Collection in the Hazy Library's Special Collections. These publications document the rich history of human flight from ballooning in the 19th century to modern aircraft.
Illustrations from the 1917 book “Acquiring Wings: A Text on the Basic Principles Governing the Design and Operation of Modern Aircraft” by William B. Stout.
Another collection that can be found in the Hazy Library's Special Collections is the Aviation and Aerospace History Collection. Library visitors perusing the historic aviation magazines in the collection will find snippets of Embry?Riddle history in advertisements, photographs and articles.

The Prescott Campus History Collection in the Hazy Library's Special Collections also has memorabilia such as the annual scrapbooks from the Golden Eagles Flight Team.
One highlight of the 1987-1988 Golden Eagles scrapbook is the section about the regional SAFECON competition, which Embry?Riddle hosted at Prescott's Ernest A. Love Field.
Photographs and captions in the scrapbook tell the story of the Golden Eagles' involvement as hosts of the event and also gives glimpses into the Golden Eagle's experience as participants in the competition.
The Golden Eagles came out at the top of the competition results and were also lauded for their excellent performance as event hosts.
The Prescott Campus History Collection, part of the Hazy Library's Special Collections, chronicles the history, development and activities of Embry?Riddle's western campus.
Highlights of the collection include student publications such as The Echo yearbook (first published in 1982) as well as student newspapers.
The following extract from a 1980 issue of The Pioneer (predecessor to today's Horizons) focuses on a mid-air collision that occurred over Prescott's Love Field in the days before the airport had a control tower. Fortunately, both planes were able to land safely, and no one was injured.
Among the holdings that make up the Aviation and Aerospace History Collection in the Hazy Library's Special Collections are the papers of World War II aviator Joseph F. Mullen (1921-1977).
Following his flight training, Mullen was assigned to the 80th Fighter Group (known as the "Burma Banshees"), which was stationed in India and supported Allied ground operations in Burma. Mullen flew 128 combat missions during 1943-1944.

Display cases in the Robertson Aviation Safety Center (RASC II) provide a glimpse into the variety of documents that may be found in the Aviation Safety and Security Archives (ASASA). The items in this display were selected to highlight several of the Archives' collections. The display was originally created for the dedication of the RASC II in October 2009.
Collections represented in this display include the S. Harry Robertson Papers, Richard G. Snyder Papers, David S. Hall Papers, David Haddon Holladay Papers, Charles Mercer Papers and the Aviation Research Collection. The items are representative of many of the record types that may be found in the Archives and include documents from accident investigation case files, correspondence, publications and photographs.
Aerospace Medicine Reports
The Aviation Research Collection contains various materials collected by the archives. Included are aviation accident reports, NTSB and FAA reports and studies, training materials, books, journals, and video recordings on aviation safety and aviation security topics.
FAA Office of Aerospace Medicine
Technical reports on aerospace medicine have been published since 1961 by the FAA Office of Aerospace Medicine and its predecessor agencies, the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) and the Civil Aeromedical Research Institute (CARI). Copies of these reports are available in the Archives' Aviation Research Collection.
Cabin Safety
Charles Mercer had a long career as an engineer with Lockheed Corporation and also served as a member of the company's accident investigation team. Following his retirement from Lockheed, he started a consulting firm and also lectured on aviation safety and accident investigation. The Mercer Papers contain reports, manuals and assorted publications by Mercer and others related to aviation and safety.
Safety With Comfort
Among Mercer's publications is this 1975 paper, which he presented at the Flight Safety Seminar of the Orient Airlines Association (now known as the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines). In "Safety with Comfort in the Passenger Cabin," Mercer discusses the interface between safety requirements and the desire for comfort in airliner passenger cabins. The cabin designer faces a challenge in the need to meld these requirements to produce a viable and marketable product.
Additional material related to cabin safety issues is available in the Archives.
Accident Investigation
David Holladay was an aviation safety consultant and accident investigator. After retiring from the Air Force, he became head of the aerospace safety curriculum at the University of Southern California. The Holladay Papers contain accident investigation case files; reference and research files; and manuals and other published material. The selected items on display come from one of the accident investigation case files.
The Accident
On November 24, 1973, a Mooney M-20 crashed following an in-flight separation of the left wing. During his investigation, Holladay conducted a careful examination of the wreckage.
Holladay created display boards for use when testifying about accident investigations. The illustrations shown below are just two of the display boards created for this accident case.
Holladay identified the contributory causes of the in-flight failure as, "the design of the wing, the selection of materials, the fabrication of those materials in respect to assembly, quality control during assembly and production, and the provision of information by the manufacturer, and the manufacturer's responsibility for surveillance of his product."
The NTSB investigation found improperly bonded glue joints and deteriorated ribs and auxiliary wing spars. The probable cause was improper maintenance, inadequate inspection by maintenance personnel and material failure of the wing structure.
NASA/FAA Crash Tests
David S. Hall is a specialist in mishap prevention and investigation, and has conducted research and analysis relating to aircraft safety and crashworthiness. The Hall Papers contain reference materials on aviation safety subjects, accident investigation case files and publications.
The Crash Tests
During the 1970s, NASA and the FAA initiated a general aviation crash test program. The tests were conducted at the Langley Impact Dynamics Research Facility, where a 73-meter-high and 122-meter-long gantry was used to conduct drop tests in which aircraft were suspended by cables and then allowed to fall or swing pendulum style to contact the impact surface at varying attitudes.
The following photographs show one of the test aircraft shortly before impact and at impact:
In addition to carrying instruments and crash test dummies that were analyzed following the test, the crash tests were carefully photographed so that the impact sequence could be studied.
Crashworthiness Study
Richard G. "Jerry" Snyder is an internationally known research scientist with expertise in human impact tolerances and trauma mechanisms, biomechanics, forensic anthropology and anthropometry, crash protection, and transportation safety. The Snyder Papers consist of materials created and collected by Snyder in the course of his work as a research scientist over 50 years.
General Aviation Crashworthiness
Among Snyder's many publications and presentations is his 1975 paper "Crashworthiness Investigation of General Aviation Accidents," which was originally presented at the Business Aircraft Meeting in Wichita, Kansas, on April 8-11, 1975, and published by the Society of Automotive Engineers. A condensed version of this paper was published in The Society of Air Safety Investigators (SASI) Forum in Fall 1975.
"The fact that an accident is 'investigated' does not necessarily mean that either crashworthiness information is obtained, or, if it is, that the design engineer will learn of, or from, the results." Snyder discusses a University of Michigan study to illustrate findings relative to occupant injury mechanisms, relative crash protection and crashworthiness performance of then-current models of aircraft.
Hugh De Haven
His experience in a 1917 aircraft accident — and his belief that his injuries were caused by poor design — led Hugh De Haven to devote his career to studying crashworthiness and passenger protection. The Snyder Papers include correspondence with Hugh De Haven, as well as copies of De Haven's collected papers and files. This paper discussed in this undated letter from De Haven to Snyder is most likely Snyder's 1975 paper on "Crashworthiness Investigation of General Aviation Accidents."
Helicopter Crash on the Salt River
Harry Robertson's career has included work in the fields of aviation safety, safety research, crash investigation and crash investigation education, as well as in the design, development, testing and production of crashworthy, ballistically tolerant fuel systems used by military aircraft worldwide.
The Robertson Papers include accident investigation case files (including over 15,000 photographs); technical papers, reports and reference material; a video library; and books and periodicals. The selected items on display come from one of the accident investigation case files.
The Accident
On December 21, 1978, a Bell 206 Jet Ranger helicopter was on a power-line patrol for Arizona Public Service (APS) along the Salt River. A tower collapsed due to water action in the flooded river, and the helicopter was struck by a static cable.
As part of the investigation carried out by James Turnbow and Dan Clark, a plan of the accident site was created.
The investigation concluded that the helicopter "was placed in jeopardy by being positioned inside the general curvature of the hi-line ... and sufficiently close to a straight line between the towers immediately to the east and to the west of the potentially collapsing tower to allow the lines to fall over the aircraft."
In order to avoid a similar accident in the future, the investigation report suggested that if tower collapse is possible, an inspection flight should approach:
-
From outside of the hi-line curvature.
-
From above.
-
At a sufficient distance on the inside of the cord line between adjacent towers to allow a safe clearance in event of a collapse.
Alternatively, it was also suggested that the use of binoculars could avoid the need for a close approach.
