Unknown Wright "Flyer" has come to our attention can you help?
We have come across an original wright " flyer" ID plate that says
Type "D" Number "1". We don't believe it is from the later (Model D) types (two of them) given to the Army as SC 19 and SC 20. We have found one paragraph where a military official Arnold was talking to Orville about a plane plane he refers to as a WrightD had great difficulty in meeting the tests apparently because of structural defects and underpowered engine. Arnold told Orville the Signal corp needed to purchase the light scout airplane (Model D). which he wanted the Army signal corp to purchase from Orville. So the Scouts are not the same as the flyer WrightD and we don't know if our plate is from the WrightD or another D. We can not find much info on this model anywhere in our research.We can email you a copy of the plate if you wish if you think it might help. Thanks. Botman. |
