Built by the Loughead brothers to a US Navy specification. Lost out to Curtiss and the F-1 was rebuilt as a landplane, the F-1A. It crashed on the first leg of a transcontinental flight and was rebuilt as a flying boat once again. Used for joy flights in the summer of 1919 until sold to the owners of an amusement park on Catalina Island. However the F-1 remained on the beach at Santa Barbara until it succumbed to vandals. Loughead was a Scottish name pronounced Lockheed and that spelling was later adopted by the brothers. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland

The J-300 was a long-range version of the CH-300 Pacemaker. Repainted in orange and maroon in preparation, NR13137 took off for a non-stop transatlantic flight to Rome on 13 May 1937, but pilots George Pond and Cesare Sabelli came down in Ireland with a broken fuel line. They 'walked into Lahinch almost unobserved and, going to the Commercial Hotel there, booked rooms and went off to bed'. They eventually reached Rome and embarked on a reverse crossing, but crashed the aircraft into the Mynydd Carningli mountain, Wales, on 19 August. Pond and Sabelli were unhurt.

The quality of the image/scan made the serial of this aircraft unreadable. The 540 was one of several slab-sided bombers developed in France before World War II. Called the Flying Coffin by Spanish Republicans, it was relegated to the colonies and second-line duties by the time the war started. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland

The USCG found the P5M too expensive to maintain and 1312 was transferred in 1961 to the US Navy as 149832. The P5M-5G version was unarmed and became a trainer for the USN. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland

The transatlantic plane famously stuffed with ping pong balls to make it float. After an emergency landing in Wales, Dick Merrill and entertainer Harry Richman arrived at Croydon on 4 September 1936. They returned to Croydon after a visit to Paris. They flew to Liverpool - Speke on the 10th or 11th and then on the 14th they took off for their return flight from Ainsdale Beach near Southport.

Like the rather fatter Blériot 110, F-ALCC, the Bernard 80 GR was built in response to a French air ministry requirement for a GR (Grand Raid, long-distance flight) aircraft that could fly 10,000 km (6,215 miles). Called L'Oiseau Tango, the orange aircraft made a world record closed-circuit flight of 8,960 km in March 1931. Here it is modified to Bernard 81 GR standard with greater wingspan and a four-bladed propeller among other changes. As such it failed to break any world records.
