Designed for the Bendix Trophy, the DGA-6 won the 1935 edition from Burbank to Cleveland and surprisingly this four-seat aircraft also won the 1935 Thompson Trophy pylon race. Mister Mulligan is apparently seen here before the start of the 1936 Bendix from NY to Los Angeles, during which it crashed in New Mexico due to a propeller failure. Pilot Ben Howard lost a leg. The wreck was salvaged 34 years later and used to build the first of two DGA-6 replicas. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

Airworthy replica of the sole 1934-built Howard DGA-6 racing cabin monoplane which won the 1935 Bendix trophy. It was damaged beyond repair in a forced landing during the 1936 race. The replica, powered by a P&W R1340, was built in 1985 by R. Younkin and is painted to closely represent the original.
