First flown on 22 September 1947, the S-53, naval designation HJS, was a bigger development of the S-51. It was a failure as the centre of gravity shifted too much with heavier payloads carried all forward of the engine, and the twin-rotor Piasecki HUP Retriever became the US Navy's new rescue helicopter instead. Sikorsky solved the problem by putting the engine in the nose of the S-55. BuNo 30370 was the second of two S-53 airframes built. Photo from: Vertical Flight Society

The C-142 tiltrotor failed to make it into service but 'United States of America' titles were worn as on VIP aircraft, probably because it was originally a joint USAF, Army and Navy project. Note the little horizontal tail rotor for pitch control. 62-5924 to NASA in 1968, to USAF Museum in 1970. Photo by: John Dominis / Life

Apparently TAT/TAT Maddux only trialled a few Condors and returned them as they were no match for the smaller Ford Tri-Motor.

The EMB-202, sometimes called Ipanemão (big Ipanema) is a 1992 variant of the Ipanema cropduster. Attempts to run Ipanemas on ethanol led to the ethanol-powered EMB-202A version by 2004. The photographer was documenting the use of ethanol as fuel in Brazil. Photo by: Bob Fitch / Stanford University Libraries

Ex D-288, this F13 - not a Junkers-Larsen JL-6 - was used by Junkers' sales agency in the USA. In April 1928 it was active in the relief operation for the stranded W33 D-1167 Bremen. The co-pilot was Hugo Junkers' eldest daughter Hertha or Herta who ran the agency and was an aeronautical engineer. Her younger brother Erhard was also on board as a mechanic. In May, Hugo Junkers himself, visiting America, came to Ford in Dearborn with Herta and Erhard and the Bremen crew. NC87 to CF-AMX. Photo from: The Henry Ford

When D-1167 Bremen ended its transatlantic flight at remote Greenly Island, frozen Lac Nairne (then Lac Sainte-Agnès) became a busy transit hub. Floyd Bennett caught pneumonia here after flying in this Tri-Motor from Detroit with fellow hero Bernt Balchen. Bennett died on 25 April and Balchen carried the Bremen flyers from Lac Nairne to Washington, DC on 27 April to attend his funeral. The Tri-Motor was flying for the North American Newspaper Alliance (NANA) but Ford surely appreciated the publicity. This airframe became the oldest surviving Tri-Motor as N1077.

They served on a coastal route between Shanghai and Shantou, extended to Hong Kong in 1936. The Min River of Fujian province reaches the sea near Fuzhou and the photo was probably taken there, by a teacher or student of the Fukien Christian University. Photo from: Yale University Library

When the Bremen flyers sighted Polaris during their transatlantic flight, they realized that their compass was way off and changed course. They crash-landed on a frozen reservoir at the lighthouse of Greenly Island in the strait west of Newfoundland. Famous aviators Bernt Balchen and Floyd Bennett landed a Ford Tri-Motor bringing spare parts, but Bremen could not be flown out and the crew left with Balchen in the Tri-Motor. Bennett had caught pneumonia and died in Quebec City on 25 April, despite Lindbergh flying in serum. The story was a media hype and 60 journalists crowded the island.

When the Bremen flyers sighted Polaris during their transatlantic flight, they realized that their compass was way off and changed course. They crash-landed on a frozen reservoir at the lighthouse of Greenly Island in the strait west of Newfoundland. Famous aviators Bernt Balchen and Floyd Bennett landed a Ford Tri-Motor bringing spare parts, but Bremen could not be flown out and the crew left with Balchen in the Tri-Motor.

This photo is attributed to Boston photographer Leslie Jones, but was taken at Baldonel, Ireland in the early morning before Bremen took off for the first successful non-stop transatlantic flight from east to west. A very similar photo in the Bundesarchiv shows two other German planes in the background. Evidently the Germans brought their own ladder - it reads 'Lackerei' (paintshop)!

The Junkers W33 D-1167 Bremen made the first successful non-stop transatlantic flight from east to west on 12-13 April 1928, landing on Greenly lsland, Quebec. Lt Richard Cobb flew this US Army Loening trying to help. Cobb was acting on the orders of, and sometimes transporting, Gen Brown of the Army's 1st Corps Area, headquartered in Boston. Thus the winged 1 emblem, also seen in photo 640547, may be related to the 1st Corps Area. Photo by: Lesly Jones / Boston Public Library
