Converted from a PBY-4, this was the prototype of the amphibious PBY-5A. First flown as such at San Diego on 2 November 1939, it is seen here at 'Washington', presumably Anacostia, arriving from Florida. Despite having wheels, it apparently took the traditional route via Panama. Photo from: Library of Congress

One of two C.202 survivors, on display at the National Air and Space Museum. The Folgore was a successor to the C.200 Saeta. Using a German Daimler-Benz DB 601 in-line engine, the Folgore was superior to the P-40 and Hurricane in North Africa. When supplies dried up, a license-built copy of the DB 601 called the Alfa-Romeo R.A.1000 R.C.41-I Monsone (Monsoon) powered the Folgore. This Folgore is painted in the markings of 90° Squadriglia, 10° Gruppo, 4° Stormo from North Africa.

President Woodrow Wilson came to see the departure of the US Post Offices's first scheduled mail flight to Philadelphia, but it was quite an embarrassment. First, the US Army Air Service crew had forgotten to fuel the new JN-4HM mailplane and then the pilot, Lt Boyle, was seen flying off in the wrong direction. Trying again two days later, the inexperienced Boyle got lost again. He had been selected by the Post Office because he was engaged to the daughter of someone important. Appropriately, Jenny 38262 flies upside down in a misprinted stamp. Photo from: US Air Force

On display in the Golden Age of Flight Hall at NASM, Washington, D.C. On Sept. 13, 1935, Howard Hughes set a new world speed record by flying the H-1 at 567 km/h. On Jan. 19, 1937 he broke the transcontinental US speed record with an incredible avg. speed of 535 km/h. Hughes used low aspect ratio wings and moderate aspect ratio wings respectively for each record. Outstanding design features included the close fitting bell-shaped engine cowling, retractable landing gear and flush rivets to reduce drag.

Displayed at the Newseum. Though marked as N206EN, this is not that aircraft (c/n 1757) as it was a JetRanger II, and is known to have gone to France as F-GMOJ. Signage gives the variant for this one as a III, and indicates it was donated by Bell, among others. The Newseum closed on December 31, 2019; this aircraft's disposition since then is not known by me.
