The National Air & Space Museum opened in 1976, one year before I took this slide. The Wright Flyer was suspended in the entrance atrium along with the Spirit of St. Louis, the Bell X-1, and the North American X-15. More recently, the Flyer had its own display gallery.

Gallaudet D-2 was powered by two 150hp engines buried in the fuselage and driving a propeller that turned between the cockpits and tail with only the blades exposed. Larger versions, the D-3 and D-4, were built. Fatal test flight accidents ended the concept. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland

In September, 1910 the Peruvian pilot Geo Chavez became the first pilot to fly across the alps. He accomplished this feat in a Bleriot XI, although unfortunately he crashed upon reaching Domodossola due to wing failure and died three days afterwards. Nevertheless, his monumental achievement was marked by the commissioning of this replica 100 years later.

This is one of the unfinished fuselages that were in production when the 328Jet program was cancelled. At least this one had been allocated a cn, there are a few others that have since been scattered over northern Italy

This Hoplite was built in August 1982 and entered into Czechoslovak AF service as 7741 the following month. It went on to also fly with the Czech AF until 2003. It is now one of three aircraft on display outside at the Orechová Potôň military museum.

Possibly worst aircraft ever made. Designed by conman William Christmas it had a flexible wing that would "flap like a bird". First Bullet crashed when the wing detached on its maiden flight in 1918, killing the pilot. Christmas made a second one, the one in the photo, claiming at an expo in March 1919 the unflown aircraft had reached almost 200mph during testing. This Bullet fatally crashed out of control on its first flight. Christmas then left aviation having made a lot of money from the US Army Bullet contract.

This may be the prototype of the improved JN-4A which was announced in November 1916. The changes from the JN-4 had been requested by the British and included a larger tail, more dihedral on the wings and ailerons on upper and lower wings. 781 were built for US and British air services.

One of Dayton Wright's projects to extend the life of DH-4 production after Armistice. The aircraft was stretched by a foot to make a cabin for two behind the pilot. One can only speculate why it was called the Honeymoon. How many were built is unknown but there may have been only one. A Honeymoon won the Aviation Country Club Trophy Race at Detroit in 1922.

The S-6 was development of the S-3 with two forward facing guns above the propeller arc. Guns may not have been operational but mounted to test weight and balance. One S-6 was delivered to the US Army as serial 492. The S-6 was built at the experimental factory at Garden City, Long Island. The photo appears to be at Curtiss' Buffalo airfield as the buildings in the background appear in photos taken the year before Garden City opened.

One version of the Lanzius LII story says the aircraft in the photo is the Packard powered prototype of a fighter with a variable-incidence wing. It crashed but four more were ordered by the US Army in April 1918 with Liberty engines. After the first Liberty powered one (serial 40034) lost its wings the rest were cancelled. The other version is this is 40034 and a note with the photo does say this aircraft lost its wings. It might be the prototype that became 40034 when it was re-engined and handed to the Army.
