The collection consists of many folders of loose material including clippings, letters, drawings of Epps planes, writings,
and photographs. Of particular note are several good aerial views of Athens and the University of Georgia (circa 1920-1930s).
Also of interest are several pages of reminiscences by Ben Epps, Jr., in which he writes about his early life and flying.
Additional material received in 2002 includes flight manuals, membership cards, transcripts of interviews, etc. The most important
item in this collection is a scrapbook (1904-1963) which documents Epps' life as a builder and flyer of airplanes. Included
are over 200 photographs, as well as some clippings and letters. A few photographs, etc. can be found here of other pilots,
planes, and Epps' children who were also flyers.
