BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

Jerome Fox ("Jerry") Lederer is often called the "father of aviation safety." He began his career as an aeronautical engineer for the U.S. Air Mail Service in the 1920s prior to becoming chief engineer for Aero Insurance Underwriters, one of the world's largest aviation insurance companies at that time. In addition to assessing aviation risks for the company, Lederer carried out safety audits and educational programs and produced a widely acclaimed safety newsletter. In 1940, Lederer was named director of the newly­created Civil Aeronautics Board Safety Bureau, a forerunner to the National Transportation Safety Board. He left the Safety Bureau in 1942 for a position with the Airlines War Training Institute.

In the aftermath of a Lockheed Constellation accident in 1946, Lederer organized a meeting to discuss ways to disseminate safety information. The Flight Safety Foundation was formed in 1947 as a result of this meeting, and Lederer served as its director until 1967. Lederer also was director of the Cornell­Guggenheim Aviation Safety Center from 1950 to 1967. Upon his retirement from FSF, Lederer was asked to establish an Office of Manned Space Flight Safety for NASA to address safety issues in the Apollo Program following the January 1967 launch­pad fire that killed three astronauts. Lederer retired from NASA in 1972, but continued to be an advocate for aviation safety until his death in 2004 at age 101.

SCOPE AND CONTENT

The Lederer Papers contain correspondence, speeches, articles, reports, photographs, news clippings, publications, an oral history interview, and memorabilia spanning Lederer's entire career.

Included are records relating to a number of aviation insurance companies including Barber and Baldwin, Aero Insurance Underwriters, Aerotech Insurance Underwriters, Aero Engineering and Advisory Service, and Charles A. Rheinstrom, Inc. The collections also contains documents relating to Lederer's time as director of the Civil Aeronautics Board Safety Bureau (1940­1942), as well as his work for the Airlines War Training Institute (1942­1943).

Lederer's work as technical director of the Flight Safety Foundation (1948­1967) and its predecessor organization Aviation Engineering for Safety (1947­1948), as well as his concurrent position as director of the Cornell­Guggenheim Aviation Safety Center (1950­1967), is well represented. Records related to Aviation Crash Injury Research/Aviation Safety and Engineering Research (AvCIR/AvSER) are included in the Flight Safety Foundation and Cornell­ Guggenheim Aviation Safety Center records. Lederer's continuing association with Flight Safety Foundation after his 1967 retirement from the Foundation is also documented in the collection.

The Lederer Papers also include documents relating to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the space program, notably Lederer's work as Director of the Office of Manned Space Flight Safety for the Apollo program as well as his subsequent position as Director of Safety for NASA.

In addition, the Lederer Papers contain writings, speeches, and other presentations by Lederer spanning his career. Additional writings by Lederer can be found in the publications of Aero Insurance Underwriters and the Flight Safety Foundation. Also documented is Lederer's involvement with the aviation safety work of government agencies, associations and organizations, and various committees. The collection also includes correspondence and biographical materials, as well as documents relating to the numerous awards and honors that he received.

Information on other individuals, writings by these individuals, and correspondence between other individuals and Lederer may be found in the Other Individuals series. However, the bulk of Lederer's correspondence (including correspondence with individuals listed in the Other Individuals series) is filed in the Correspondence Series. The collection also documents Lederer's involvement in the Air Mail Pioneers, and also includes files on other aviation history topics.

Series. Cornell­Guggenheim Aviation Safety Center Extent: 14 folders

Lederer served as director of the Cornell­Guggenheim Aviation Safety Center from 1950 until 1967. He held this position concurrently while serving as managing director of the Flight Safety Foundation. The Safety Center, which had accomplished its mandate to make aviation as safe as transportation by train, was closed soon after Lederer's retirement from the directorship. This series contains records related to the Safety Center and its work. Also included is information on the Crash Injury Research program originally established by Hugh deHaven at Cornell University Medical School. The aviation side of the program (which also included automotive safety) was transferred to the Cornell­Guggenheim Center following the center's establishment in 1950. It was renamed Aviation Crash Injury Research (AvCIR) and was later known as Aviation Safety and Engineering Research (AvSER). Additional materials related to AvCIR/AvSER, which became a subsidiary of the Flight Safety Foundation in 1959, can be found in the Flight Safety Foundation Series.

Series. Flight Safety Foundation Extent: 102 folders

The Flight Safety Foundation has its origins in two organizations formed in the late 1940s. In 1947, a meeting organized by Lederer led to the creation of Aircraft Engineering for Safety, an organization focused on the dissemination of safety information. Shortly afterward, this group merged with another group that had been formed to study cockpit design, and the combined organization adopted the name of the second group, Flight Safety Foundation. Lederer served as managing director of the Foundation from its formation until 1967. This series contains records relating to the activities of the Flight Safety Foundation and Lederer's work with the Foundation.

Note: Processing of the collection is ongoing. In addition to the material identified below, additional items of interest may be located in the unprocessed portions of the collection. Please contact the archivist for additional information.
