Ryan SC-W

SC = Sport Cabin, W = Warner power (there was an SC-M / Menasco
powered version as well).

There is a web site for this airplane:

There are lots of pictures of the making of the cowling.

A difficult airplane to build, it used 'nested tooling' and every hole was drilled in every part before any assembly started, I think one is used in that awful Robert Stack/Dorthy Malone movie about air racing made in the early 50's

I don't remember seeing one in the movie you referred to (The Tarnished Angels, 1958) but they were used as Japanese fighters in Wake Island (1942).

Still working on it but I started a web page for the Ryan SC...

http://www.flytoanothertime.com/ryansc/ryanscindex.html

More work to be done on it but at least you get an idea of the survivors.
