Ray McAllister, e-mail, 15.03.2010 20:47 I am pretty sure my dad was engineer/mechanic on this flying boat in WW I. I have a picture of him showing part of the aircraft and we had half a Libertyy engine piston as an ashtray at our house till we persuaded Dad to give up smoking. The Liberty was later war surplus and used by Gar Wood in Miss America and Miss Liberty racing boats, and in a number of yachts which neede a relatively large HP engine weighing less than the ordinary engines of the day. They were probably thw first aircraft used by Aeromarine Airways, the predecessor of Pan American, with routes from Miami to Havana, Nassau, Long Island Sound and Algonac, Michigan.
