Detail of photo 426758 showing a mix of war-surplus trainers and new aircraft. The 'Tiny Timm' did its job in the US Navy but was built of plywood and not to last. An aviastar.org reader reports he flew this example at Granite City, Illinois in 1948 and 1949 and that 'the rudder fell off due to dry rot' after an aerobatic training flight. The Ercoupe to the left appears to be NC93556 (c/n 879) and the Aeronca Champ to the right appears to be NC82364 (c/n 7AC-997). The other planes include a Cessna Bobcat and several Vultee Valiants.
