Thanks for posting, great pics again! #14, NR84Y, is Perry Hansen's Baby Bullet #3 - which became the previously-discussed Francis-Angell Special Goodyear racer.

I'm also looking for any info on the Folkerts SK-1, aka "Matilda", pictured between the ones of NR84Y and the Folkerts SK-3 "Jupiter Pride of Lemont".

Thanks,

Chris

FOLKERTS SK-1
Built for the 1930 Cirrus Air Derby by Clayton Folkerts and Vern Roberts at the expense of the Mono-Aircraft Company and flown by Stub Quimby. Nosed over in Douglas, AZ taking it out of competition. Raced in 1930 and 1931 and then shipped to St. Louis where it remained until 1933. Painted red, licensed NR500W and averaged 142.14mph in the Air Derby. Later modified where it turned 187mph.
