Originally built as the We-Will racer. Two revamps led to it becoming the first of three Wedell-Williams 44 racers. It went though further modifications over its racing life. NR278V crashed at Cleveland during the Thompson Trophy race on September 3, 1934, killing the pilot. A replica of this aircraft registered N278V was on the US register from 1985 to 2019.

The Wedell-Williams 44 was a successful racing aircraft of the early 1930s. NR536V was piloted by both Jim Haizlip and his wife May, then the fastest woman in the world. They were based in St Louis where the photo should have been taken. The other Model 44 is NR61Y/121, the Gilmore Red Lion of Roscoe Turner.
