Biography of Charles Hubbell
Charles Hubbell was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1899 and quickly became interested in aviation. He was an avid model plane
builder and by the time he had graduated high school he had constructed a man sized glider. He attended and graduated the
Cleveland School of Art in 1923 and gained his pilots license in 1925.
Hubbell worked as a commercial artist in Cleveland for several years and painted airplanes in his spare time until he was
contracted by the Thompson Company to begin producing paintings for their yearly calendar using the winners of the annual
Thompson races. The first calendar was produced in 1937. Hubbell would continue to paint for the calendar until 1969 when
he retired.
Scope and Content
The Hubbell collection consists of four oversized folders. Each folder contains poster sized reprints of Hubbell's paintings
for the Thompson calendar as well as several other posters that contain histories of flight written by Hubbell and produced
by the Thompson Company. A complete list of each poster and its location in the folders can be found below. The date range
of the collection spans 1941 to 1961.
