NR2100 at the start of the Bendix Air Race. Its race ended when it crashed, killing pilot Russell Boardman, at Indianapolis. NR2100 was rebuilt with a longer fuselage and the wings of the R-2 , along with its registration of NR2101. But it soon crashed again. It was rebuilt a second time, still as NR2101 and crashed and burned at the start of the 1935 Bendix race. That was the end of NR2100/2101. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution
