Identify the airplane. Bonus for power. Bonus for primary customers (one of the two will gain the bonus).

Ooooh, I dunno what she is, but she's pretty in an ugly kinda way!

 

[OhioStatePilot]

Looks like either Fokker or a Junkers, but I'm not finding anything yet... I've probably got the make wrong.

 

[ctab5060X]

hint...

 

[WacoFan]

No takers on this?

Engine is clearly a Wright...

Manufacturer has been discussed in a couple of the threads...

You are all women and Ctab and I rule!

Waco... maybe if the picture would show up, people might have a chance...

It is showing up for me - didn't know that it wasn't showing up. People commented on it yesterday.

 

[ctab5060X]

ahhh, its showing up now!

 

[OhioStatePilot]

I've been away! I haven't had a chance to work on this... or the others!

 

[ctab5060X]

Teaches you to be away!

Erg... wrenching on a friend's Eagle Talon teaches me enough of a lesson!

At least you are working on a "bird" of sorts.

Curtiss 55 Kingbird. 300 HP engines, and Eastern Air Transport was one of the main operators.

Bingo. USMC was the other primary operator.

Bingo. USMC was the other primary operator.

It took a lot of research to find that. I had to find a picture that matched the picture of the bird, which gave me the name. Then, it still took a while to find the actual airplane.

 

[OhioStatePilot]

Damnit! I was following the Laird/Swallow Aircraft Co line... aren't the above birds swallows? I never was a bird watcher...

 

[ctab5060X]

I never was a bird watcher...

Just a girl watcher, eh?
