Remarks by Dave Simpson: "This plane was a one-off race plane built in 1920 to compete in the Gordon Bennett Aviation cup race of 1921. It was one of the first planes to have a retractable landing gear in combination with enclosed cockpit. Other highly advanced features for the time were an unbraced wing which had flaps on the trailing and leading edges. It was powered by a 250 hp Hall Scott Liberty six, maximum speed was 200 mph (322 kmh). Also known as Dayton-Wright Racer" |
