Not exactly War Birds

Post by Niner » Sat Jun 11, 2005 11:26 pm

Scrounged these from an old family album. Pictures taken sometime in the 1930's.





From Miami Florida.

The top 2 pictures are a Sikorsky S-40, and the 3rd pic is a Sikorsky S-42. Very cool pics Robert, thanks for posting. Now someone else identify the mail plane.

Can't help much for a while, all my reference material and computer are in storage. Sold the house last week and have moved to Tucson, AZ. Once in a while I use my friends computer, but not too often. Will do more when settled in.
