The only two things I know about it are that it was built in 1930, and
that Ben Epps, Sr. was killed in it in 1934. Reports are that it had
an engine failure on takeoff and crash-landed. David Hill would
probably know more about it. You'll find his website on Google.

Further investigation shows that those dates are inaccurate. Contact
David Hill and/or Google it for better info.

I FOUND A PHOTO OF THE REPLICA AT NBAA!
Its not a good photo, but you can make out a few details. The photo is
in the "Convention Floor" folder, image #1.
