Ah yes, all true - but lovely monococque fuselage - well ahead of its time, I think...and the windscreen looks positively post-war!

Nice looking plane good lines, but so as the E Type jaguar. the jag could not hold the road and the pellet found it hard to get in the air, nose heavy flipped twice before the 1923 schneider and almost killed the pilot. If it had have got in the air it would have been out classed by the Curtiss as was the supermarine that year. the pellet was out of date even when it was built, than god for Mithcells vision with the SBs or we would all be speaking German!.
