Re: Photos USAAS Aircraft

Hi Guys

Clint found a photo here
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1910s-1920s...IAAOSwVNxgQBiZ
and just because its been around for some time, didn't think it was good enough to post.
I differ, since this time the photo is very well reproduced on e-bay and it also shows a quite interesting Standard (Fisher Body built) SJ-1
It shows one of three SJ-1 converted at Wright Field to take the Curtiss OX-5 engine.
The seller seems to be so focused on the photographer that he cannot see the forest because of all the trees.
Aircraft is no JN-4 and not even a J-1 as given by Baugher on his site (no such designation actually existed)
The use of another SJ-1's rudder also adds to the dimension. All-in-all a very nice photo! I exchanged the one I already had and downloaded to this one!!

Cheers
Stig
