Re: Photos Airco
Yes Clint
This is the first USD-9A built by the Engineering Division at McCook Field.
It had AS number 40060 and was tested in October 1918 at Wilbur Wright Field in Dayton.
It tested a 37mm cannon sometime post war and was surveyed in Aug 1922, to the month four years after it had been built.
Photo is well known, but as far as I can tell, always in very small size, so it was interesting to see it with such clarity. I wonder why they painted P43 in three different colours....
Cheers
Stig
