Yesterday's Flyers

I'd really like to know the present status of my old Curtiss Wright "Junior" CW-1 pusher (N11888) which I donated to the above replica/restoring club at Carson City Airport, Nevada, U.S.A. and how to get in touch with any living survivors of that marvelous bunch of professional pilots. I'd also like very much to contact present owners of CW-1's and compare experiences with them....

No replies yet. It can't be that everyone involved with CW-1's are no longer living....
Added: Sorry I failed to recognize the single reply so far. Are the name and telephone connected in any way with Yesterday's Flyers?

There are only 32 on the U.S. registry, and it is likely that none participate in this forum.

Here they are: FAA Registry - Aircraft - Make / Model Inquiry

As many as that still registered? That's pretty impressive since only around 250 were built and sold before being discontinued in or about 1932. Can you locate and/or put me in touch with someone at "Yesterday's Flyers" in Carson City if it's not too much of an imposition? (The membership comprised a number of retired jet transport pilots, whose names and addresses I lost in a fire back in the '90's after I'd the plane half-rebuilt for them to finish and retain in their collection of antiques.)
