Atlantic City Aero Club
The Atlantic City Aero Club was organized 10 Mar. 1910 at a meeting of business, hotel, and financial men at the Marlborough-Bleuheim. The sum of $50,000 was subscribed to then and an equal amount was expected at the next meeting on 15 March. It was decided that an aviation meet was to be held 30 June-10 July, inclusive and a committee was appointed to confer about it with the officers of the Aero Club of America. The result was the Atlantic City Aero Meet, held July 4–12. An Atlantic City Aero Club was not on a list of ACA affiliates in Flying, July 1919, but was on the affiliates' list in Flying, Aug. 1919.
Initial officers included John J. White, president; Louis Kuehnie (or Kuehnle), Walter J. Busby (or Buzby), and Carlton Godfrey, vice presidents; Col. Walter E. Edge, secretary; and J. Haines Lippincott, treasurer.
Affiliated with ACA in 1919.
