Hello,


Currently on ebay a nice photo of two early USAAS aircraft, Martin TT serial 50 and a Curtiss JN-2, serial 47 perhaps? at:

A very nice photo!!

While the TT is indisputable I would venture an educated (oh well... ) guess and say the other aircraft is a JN-4B No 157. At this time all surviving JN-2 had been modified to JN-3 standard and was with No 1 Squadron (all having a star on their fins)

Another reason is, not that I am a Curtiss Jenny expert, but because I have Robert Casari's 'Bible' by my side.

At this time both the Martin and this particular Jenny was on a search for two missing fliers from bases in southern Calidornia (Dec 1916 -Jan 1917). Casari specifically mentions that TT No 50 was in on that search.

Easy, peacy when you have the 'Bible' right in front of you....

Cheers

Hi Stig,


If you like the photo the seller has many more potentially interesting photos from the Woodhouse Collection. I haven't posted any of them because most are civilian aircraft or in a few cases post WW.I, but you may find him worth checking out.


Thanks for the accurate info on the JN. I was definitely taking a guess on that one and seeing the 7 thought 47. Good to have the correct info.

Thanks Clint

Yes I have gone through the Woodhouse collection and saved some of them.
Unfortunately most are quite indifferent to me....

Cheers

Not all (any?) appear to be from WWI as advertised by the seller.
