RALPH OTIS HALL

|---|
Ralph Otis Hall landed twice at Peterson Field. His first visit was on Wednesday, December 30, 1931. He carried four unidentified passengers in an unidentified Travel Air. They were northbound, arriving from Pueblo, CO on their way to Denver, CO. He gave no hints in the Register as to the purpose of their flight.
About six weeks later, on Thursday, February 18, 1932 he visited again. This time he was solo in the Command Aire NC992E. His itinerary was the same.
Ralph flew for the Richfield Oil Company and became head of the Flight Department. On January 5, 1937 Richfield Oil closed the aircraft department. On June 16, 1938 Hall went to work for Mohawk Oil flying a gull wing Stinson Reliant. Later he started the Death Valley Airline that lasted less than one year.
I have no information about his activities during WWII. After WWII Hall went to work at War Eagle Field near Lancaster, CA as head of maintenance.
Besides his two landings at Peterson Field, Hall landed twice at Clover Field and once at the Davis-Monthan Airfield. His biography, including photographs and information provided by his son, is online at the Davis-Monthan Airfield Register Web site at the link. Ralph Hall was born in 1905 in Chattanooga, TN and died young in 1946 in Lancaster, CA. He carried Transport pilot certificate T3753.
