The first Luscombe Aircraft prototype. A luxurious two-seater, the Phantom was built in series but expensive at $6000 and tricky to land. First flight in May 1934, NC272Y cancelled in June 1935. Damaged parts apparently still exist. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution This photo was added on 18 March 2023, and has since been viewed 458 times. |
