US Navy #11

[Don Martin]

Rob,
#1 is a Northrop XFT-1, and nice job of blotting out the tail designation! #2 you've lost me on.

Is it another of those bloody Curtiss Job's .
Model E, US Naval A-1(later AH-1), A-2(OWL) E-1(AX-1) .
Pilot possibly L.T. Theodore G.Ellyson, Naval Aviator No.1.
Where who know's , The shore of Lake Keuka maybe .
What they are doing , Tow launch experiment's or waiting for a very strong wind .
Cheer's all , Tally Ho! Phil .

Ah-ha, Col. Rohr, didn't take long for # 11 to come

I reckon the first one could be an XFT-2
& the second one is a Curtiss AH-1

Yep, Rob will definitely expand your historical aviation knowledge,OR, make you wish you had settled for making daisy chains as your primary hobby!

[turbo_NZ]

Perhaps the consumption of Moxie (as per the other thread) will enhance my US Navy classic aircraft knowledge.....

It will expand your mental capacity for naval aviation exponentially, or at least cure your seasickness!
