Dayton Wright FP-2

Regarding the engines, aerofiles.com confuses the issue by saying the FP-2 was originally powered by Hall-Scott L-6 engines, and refitted by Liberty 12 pushers. The tall radiators and narrow frontal area of the pusher engines portrayed on the 3-view would indicate they are Hall-Scott L-6 engines. A photo of the FP-2 taken at Michipicoten Harbour, Lake Superior, Ontario, (where the aircraft crashed after a float brace wire failed shortly after take-off), clearly shows a V-12 tractor engine configuration. Aerofiles incorrectly says the aircraft registration was N-CAED. The aircraft was registered G-CAED.
