What Cockpit? MK VI

[evansb]

Not a Douglas aircraft. The mystery ship set an endurance record with an L-head radial engine.

More theory !!! Should I say Timm M-150 ? as Otto.W.Timm took Charles Lindburgh for his first flight at Lincoln Standard Airfield on April 9 1922.

[evansb]

Yes, Keith. It is the Timm M-150 Collegiate City of Los Angeles. You have control.

[norwich]

Thank you evansb, that took some research ! good one ! my next will last no time ! Keith.

Ercoupe/Aircoupe

[norwich]

c2j you are correct again, an aircraft with more names and makers than owners ! Over to your choice. Keith.

[Cubs2jets]

Thank you Norwich,

Here is one more obscure. Two photos to get things going.

A Rearwin Cloudster perhaps?

[Cubs2jets]

Not a Rearwin, though of generally similar timeframe.

C2j

[Planegill]

Looks similar to the St. Louis Cardinal, although the panel is not original.

[Cubs2jets]

Planegill,

Good guess, but NO it is NOT the St. Louis Cardinal.

32 produced by a manufacturer with an interesting connection to travel.

[evansb]

Welch Falcon ?

[Cubs2jets]

Not a Welch Falcon.

Never thought this would go on so long with this smart group! Manufactured in the American mid-west by a company with a good reputation in baggage.

C2j

[con-pilot]

Surely not a Moncoupe? (sp?)

[Cubs2jets]

Not a Monocoupe, but it is generally similar in appearence (weren't they all?). This plane was built in 1931 and mounts a 90hp Warner radial engine.

To the best of my knowledge only two examples of this company's flying produce exist today, both in museums. One in Canada and the other (my challenge) in the US.

The Kari Keen Sioux Coupe.

[Cubs2jets]

Lars is the man!

The Kerry-Keen Souix Coupe was built in Souix City, Iowa by a subsidiary of the Kerry-Keen luggage company that was well known for their trunk (luggage) manufacturing.

To be honest, I had never even heard of this plane until just before I posted the challenge!



C2j

[larssnowpharter]

To be honest I had never heard of it either. In researching tho it did come up but the photos did not show that rear window.

The luggage connection no doubt explains what looks like a very high quality leather interior.

This is not on Mel's list (thanks for keeping us on the straight and narrow, by the way) but I doubt it will cause any problems.

Fairchild 24W

[larssnowpharter]

You are correct sir.

And she looks pretty too!

You have control
