Became RCAF serial 625 in 1932. Note that it is also claimed this aircraft became G-CYWU in 1929 based on it having the same c/n. However, CYWU was a Lynx-engined FC-2L. Comparing photos of CYYV with CYWU show distinctly different cabin windows. Photo from: Library and Archives Canada

'The first plane of the new transcontinental air line, of which Col Lindbergh is one of the organizers, photographed at Boiling Fields [sic].' Bolling Field was the same runway as Anacostia until 1935, when the US Army moved to a new Bolling Field nearby. TAT offered the first coast-to-coast air service between New York and Los Angeles in 1929, although the 48-hour journey involved a night train between NY and Columbus, Ohio and another one between Waynoka, Oklahoma and Clovis, New Mexico. 'Take A Train' merged with Maddux Air Lines, and then with Western Air Express to form TWA in 1930. Photo from: Library of Congress

Brooklyn (B'klyn) Air Transport was described as a flying boat manufacturer. This might well relate to this flying fish as Walden-Markey Inc were located nearby. Aerofiles note that Walden may be Henry Walden, who had built his first aircraft in 1909 and started Walden Aircraft Co in Long Island City in 1929. Mr Walden 'ended aircraft involvement to return to dental profession' in 1932. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

The ultimate strategic reconnaissance aircraft, the F-12 competed against the Hughes F-11 but procurement was cancelled following the end of WWII. 44-91002 was the first of two Rainbows to be completed and made its first flight on 4 February 1946. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

A German oblate priest who had served as a medic and as a fighter pilot during World War I, Paul Schulte founded MIVA to provide missionaries with modern means of transport, including aircraft. In August 1938 he evacuated a priest from Arctic Bay, Nunavut in a Reliant - possibly this aircraft, which carries the MIVA logo on the nose, 'The Flying Priest' titles on the rear fuselage, and Rev Schulte's name on the tailfin. In 1942 the aircraft was impressed by the USAAF as UC-81L 42-107424. It reverted to NC16199 in May 1943 with Chicago and Southern Air Lines. Cancelled in May 1948, fate unknown.
