Used for two eastbound transatlantic crossings in 1931 and 1934. The first was flown by Capt Holger Hoérüs with passenger Otto Hillig, of Liberty, NY, who owned it. The plane was named after the town. The destination was Copenhagen but fog forced a diversion to Germany. The second flight was by Polish brothers Bolesław and Jozef Adamowicz. NR797W remained in Poland after the flight. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

This was the second UB-14 but its production prospects in the US were thwarted by the politics of the day. It was shipped to the UK where Cunliffe-Owen planned to produce it. NR15320 returned to the US and was sold in Nicaragua in November 1943. Cunliffe-Owen built a single example. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

Designed by Georgian expat Mikheil Grigorashvili (anglicised as Michael Gregor) and built by the Canadian Car and Foundry. It was tested by the RCAF against the Grumman F3F and while it outperformed the Grumman, the Gregor had no military equipment fitted. CF-BMB competed in the All-American air race from New York to Miami in 1940 and it appears also in 1941. An effort to sell the type to Mexico was barred by the Canadian government. CF-BMB cancelled from the register in 1950. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

After the 28-92 YR-AHA did not leave for Romania as planned, it was registered in the US. It participated in two Bendix air races. In 1937 it was forced out by engine problems but came second in the 1938 event. After that the aircraft was sold in South America and reported to have ended up derelict in Ecuador.

Crashed during a test flight from Floyd Bennett Field on March 29, 1932, killing Captain Yoshinori Nagoya. The J-3 was a special long-range conversion of the CH-400 and this aircraft appears to have originally been c/n 632. The fuselage was deepened to provide more space for fuel. Nagoya was planning a non-stop flight from across the Pacific from Los Angeles to Tokyo. The rest of the crew for the proposed Pacific flight were not on the test flight.
