Photo Comment

Built in April 1932 as NC54Y then re-registered as above in the same month. This racer and its stable-mates were very successful and dominated the scene at the time with their P&W Wasp Jr engines giving 1020 hp. This one was last known of on display at the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum in Cleveland.
