Another photo of the Pride of Los Angeles triplane that was entered for the Dole Air Race to Hawaii. The titles and aircraft name can be discerned here on a darker paint job that was reportedly orange. If this was applied as a safety measure, it was one of the few taken for the race. On the nose is probably still the globe logo of the International Aircraft Corporation. The CF-10's middle wing only ran outboard of the engines! Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum

When the monoplane airliner already ruled the skies, Catron & Fisk came up with the CF-10 triplane. They became International Aircraft Corporation in 1927 and this photo clearly shows that this aircraft, entered in the Dole Air Race to Hawaii by cowboy actor Hoot Gibson and friends, was prepared as the International F-10. The F-10 crashed off Oakland on arrival for the race. The two crew and one passenger swam ashore unhurt. It is believed that this machine was never registered.
