Here is a Travel Air 3000 pretending to be a German "Fokker D-VII". It is a rare photo by Stan Staples showing NR3947 configured as a crop duster, but still painted as it was used in the movie "Men With Wings" (released in July 1938). Note the spreader system fitted below the fuselage. By 2020, more than 80 years later, this aircraft was still current on the USCAR, by now with the Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum at Creve Coeur airport (Maryland Heights, MO), still under the same registration N3947.
