Hello,


Currently on ebay are photos of two USAAS aircraft at:

2800 is a Curtiss JN-4D, while the other aircraft is a DH-4 of some kind. The photos may be wartime or possibly the 1920s, the seller appears uncertain.



There is also a seperate photo of a JN-4D 2589 at:

The group with four aircraft were all most likely taken at Kelly Field around 1919-20. Two photos visibly have ASMS on their fuselages and the JN-4D added text "Kelly-Field". A third photo has the building in the background also carrying the same letters.
Reason for the appx date is that the "rear-ending" DH-4 seems to carry the serial 32167. That aircraft did not come off the production line until about November-December 1918.

Cheers

Hello Stig,


Thanks for that. I could see that the DH-4 had a serial of some kind on top of the rudder, but couldn't read it. If you're happy with 32167 I can go with that.

Hi Nick
Yes a well known photo, while the 40 built by Dayton-Wright are very elusive.

The P-number list has been published (I think) in both AAHS magazines and Skyways.
Don't know if this one differs or not....it is a long list check....
Cheers

Thanks both. So definitely a XB-1A then. A bit thrown personally by what had looked like an open cockpit. But I guess not. Thanks also Nick for the P number list,which I shall no doubt refer to in the future.

Hello,


Currently on ebay are a couple of photos of the Martin GMC A62951 with 37mm cannon. One rather clearer than the other

The Martin GMB, finished with a nose cannon as the GMC was AS 62950

The number you mention was the last GMB ordered by the USAAS, finished as s sort
of passenger transport and was designated GMP.

Both the GMC and GMP were ordered on 4 Jan 1919 and the GMC was delivered to McCook Field
in Sep 1919
