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.

It seemed like a good idea - improving the aerodynamics of seaplanes by using a large central float or pontoon that could be retracted to conform with the fuselage. Built at the Blackburn seaplane factory in Dumbarton, the B-20 prototype V8914 first flew on 26 March 1940 but crashed on 7 April, probably due to aileron flutter. The project was then given up, although the concept had shown promise and was kept secret, making the B-20 one of the least-known British aircraft of the war. Photo from: Air Ministry (UK)

The H-13D gave the Bell 47 its familiar look with the fishbowl canopy and was produced in the new Forth Worth plant which started manufacturing HSL helicopters on 2 January 1952. 51-2450 was one of the first H-13Ds off the line. A close contemporary, 51-2454, was already active with X Army Corps in Korea on 15 July 1952 when it was shot down. The photo was still issued by the Bell Aircraft Corporation, PO Box One in Buffalo, New York. Photo from: Bell

The only information with the photo is 'Pine Camp', an army training area renamed Fort Drum in 1951. The aircraft was built in 1947. Another shot shows CQ-798 on the ground with a Bell 47B demonstrator, NC5H, and that should date the photos before April 1951. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum
