Help out the Archives Division!
Among the 1.7 million photographs in our
collections, there are just a couple of aircraft that we haven't
been able to identify. If you can help us turn a UFO into an IFO,
drop us a line. We
don't have any prizes to award, but clueing in the National Air
and Space Museum confers infinite bragging rights!
This biplane, which bit
the dust at a Glendive, Montana rodeo in 1916, has characteristics
of both Curtiss and Farman aircraft and may have been homebuilt.
It wasn't identified on the photographs that were recently donated
to us, but If you can supply any information on the builder or
pilot, drop us a line.
