My friend, Ford Martyn, who has since passed away built a replica
of a Ben Epps designed bi-plane. This was in the early 1970's.


Wow. Good man!
A flying replica, was it?
Any idea if it's still around or what the registration was?

Don't see anything like that listed with 'Martyn' as the builder's
name, but "Ben T. Epps" is listed as building N4975W, a "BEN T. EPPS
1930". 1964 is listed as its manufacturing date.


That must be it since Ben Epps died in the original. Shame as it was a
pretty airplane. Looks like a baby Eaglerock. I believe the '30 biplane was
to go into production, but the accident put a stop to that, obviously.
