Sold to Col.George Burling Jarrett for $100 in 1931 and while on display with the Jarrett Collection, its data plate was stolen. Sold to Frank Tallman 1950 and made airworthy 1955, when it acquired its c/n.'3'. When the Tallmantz assets were sold in 1966, it went to the Aeroflex Collection in New York. By 1973 it was displayed as B7270 in Wings & Wheels at Santee, South Carolina, moving to Florida in 1979 for display with the Wings & Wheels Museum in Orlando, when Wings & Wheels merged with Aeroflex and Dolph Overton III collections. Its true identity is not now known. This photo is copyright © Mike Cain, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
