Harold W. Zipp Collection

The Harold W. Zipp Collection documents Zipp's career at The Boeing Company in both Wichita, Kansas and Seattle, Washington with documents and photographs. The bulk of the collection relates to Zipp's tenure in Wichita before his transfer to Boeing in Seattle in 1952.

Digitized Materials: The only item currently digitized from this collection is one of Zipp's travel diaries containing entries dated between July 20 to August 15, 1945. This 76-page diary recounts trips to airfields in California and the Western Pacific and describes meetings and social events with military officials and Boeing personnel. It also describes major wartime events that coincided with his trips, including the Nagaoka air raid and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
