| Irvin L. Smith, ils360(@)comcast.net, 28.08.2009 1935-48 History, It was unloaded at 10th and I Street in San Barndaino off a rail car from the Los Angles area. It was taken in pieces to Shannon Hill Airport and assembled. It was flown one time. The pilot flew it one time around the field and landed at the far end of the field. The engine quit and it went nose up. The pilot got out and said, "Never again!" After the airport was turned into a bomb plant at the start of WWII the plane was moved the Orange Show Grounds in San Barnardiano where it stayed until 1948. I lost track of it after that. |
