Aerial view of the Naples Airport, September 1980, nine months after John Van Arsdale, Sr. stepped down as head of Naples Airlines and Provincetown-Boston Airline.  As the airport's chief occupant, Van Arsdale had overseen all aircraft rentals, maintenance, flight instruction, and fuel sales.  In 1969, the city appointed a five-member board, the Naples Airport Authority, to manage and operate the airport.

An interesting figure in the early history of Naples, Dr. Earl Baum (1887-1976)  made his first visit here in February 1922, lured by an article he read in an issue of Field and Stream magazine.

Each winter for the next 25 years Dr. Baum and his wife, Agnes, returned to Naples to fish, hunt and photograph the wildlife that abounded in the area.  They became permanent residents in 1946.

Dr. Earl L. Baum's cabin cruiser, his eighth boat in Naples, a 42-foot Wheeler powered by two, 145 HP Chrysler Royal engines.  Baum bought the boat in New York City in 1938 and used it in Naples until World War II, when the U.S. Coast Guard requisitioned it to serve on submarine patrol.  Baum refused to accept it back after the war.
