Here a few items found by Robert Winn:
OTTO GARDNER BACK Perhaps this little item should be in other columns than sports but probably not because it concerns Otto Gardner, a doughty young man who will be remembered best, for his exploits in football and track uniforms of both Santa Ana high school and junior college. That was back In the years from 1923-26, unless memory plays me false. Later Gardner migrated to Montana State colege where he played on one of the nation’s outstanding basketball teams, an ensemble that averaged around 60 points a game. Now a senior pilot for Pan American Grace Airways in South America, Aviator Gardner is back in Santa Ana for a two-months vacation with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. Gardner of Berrydale road. He has been affiliated with Pan- American seven years, flies regularly with mail and passengers from Buenos Aires (Argentine) to Santiago (Chile), a “beat” of some 850 miles. Since the alarming number of air crashes in recent years has made many an American air-wary, Pilot Gardner's opinions are timely, newsworthy. “I believe the number of tragedies could be greatly reduced if some of the airlines of this country would change their policy," says Gardner. “In South America, the pilot is allowed a good deal of leeway. He is master of his plane. He can fly or ‘sit down’ as he thinks best. But up here the ground personnel has the last word, and what it says goes. My opinion is that the man at the controls knows more about actual flying conditions than a man on the ground, although of course the ground personnel can give much valuable advice. “Some of the American lines, goaded by competition, attempt to adhere too closely to a definite flying schedule, too. I know that one tragedy that occurred near here was due to the pilot’s determination to makeup a few minutes of lost time so he wouldn’t lose any prestige at headquarters by landing late. In South America, where few accidents occur, we have lots of latitude and the companies operate on the old theory that it's better to get there late than never.”
--Santa Ana Register (Santa Ana, California), February 10, 1938, p. 8.
CANDIDATE HERE Ott Gardner, the Montana State quarterback, made a strong bid for all-conference honors Saturday. His 90-yard run from kickoff to touchdown was a gem of'purest ray. He ran.his team in fairly good shape, making only a,' few errors. One of these came about when he attempted to execute a punt with two Aggie tacklers holding onto his leg. This cost a touchdown, as Martindale, the sturdy little A. C. "wingman, hit him in the side and the ball went wide. Bergeson picked it up and ran 40 yards to a touchdown. Gardner is an excellent kicker, a shifty ball lugger and a clever passer. What else could a coach ask of a backfield man?...
--The Ogden Standard-Examiner (Ogden, Utah), October 19, 1927, p. 8.
Graduate Flying Cadets:
Ott Gardner, Orange, California
--Office of the Air Corps, War Department, Washington, "Air Corps Newsletter," July 2, 1930, p. 290.
In March 1951 Captain and Mrs. Ott Gardner and daughters were visiting in the Canal Zone, where he was once stationed.
--The Panama American (Panama Canal), March 6, 1951.
He resigned from Panagra (Pan American-Grace Airways) to join Corsair Airways to fly supplies to the Pacific.
