Bell Airabonita

[Sopwith]

I just wondered are there any books about the Airabonita, or does anybody have any photos that they could share. It looks a pretty interesting aircraft. Thanks in anticipation.

I have a copy of the above mentioned book, the sole example went through quite a few detail changes in it's life. And there's a series of photos showing it's remains as well, as covered in this thread:

I recall that AIRPOWER magazine did an article on the XFL-1 about a hundred years ago in the B.O. era (before O'Leary)
