BOB STARKEY

 

Bob Starkey flew an unidentfied Stinson to a landing at Clover Field sometime between March 1st and May 16, 1935. He arrived from the Grand Central Air Terminal. I know little else about him. Starkey's biography is on the Davis-Monthan Airfield Register Web site at the link. There you will find out that he landed eight times at Tucson. Starkey also landed once and signed the Register at Parks Field. None of his landings there, other than the numbers of his aircraft, provided any clues to his life in aviation. If you can help fill in the blanks, please use the FORM in the right sidebar.
