In 1930 Ben Howard took his DGA-3 Pete to the National Air Races at Cleveland, OH. After being rebuilt as the Baker Special, the aircraft went to the Goodyear races only to be partially destroyed in a hangar fire after the races. EAA Founder Paul Proberezny used what was left of the fuselage and added cut down Luscomb wings and spring landing gear to create Pete III "Little Audry" (named after his wife). It first flew in 1953 (N27B). After six later owners, the aircraft was donated to the EAA Museum and restored to fly in 1991 before retiring for display.
