Ford Trimotor and what might be an early Beech 17 on the right

USA?

USA is correct.

looks like it might have been some sort of Air Race kicking off - Cleveland Hopkins Airport?

dook 9th Aug 2019 12:03

There were air races there but this photo was not of an air race.

There were a few air displays there.

It's not Hopkins.

use of past tense I see - is the airfield still active?

dook 9th Aug 2019 13:22

Past tense because we are talking pre-WW2.

Still active, but the name has changed.

Why make life difficult.

In 1930, the date of the challenge, it was called Fairhaven.

Time to hand over the thread to you Bear.

Thanks,

I just found on the web that Fairhaven is not the same as New Bedford Regional.
But thanks anyway.

I fear that this next one might also find mixed results.

I gave it to you because one source said they are the same.

Aeroplane ID says Yak.

Eastern Front ?

Self loading bear 9th Aug 2019 20:11

Yak,
I am not aware the Yak flew on another front than the Eastern?

dook 9th Aug 2019 20:25

I seem to remember some were in Korea and Baku, but that's not the challenge answer.
