[Leica] IMG: From Times Past

[Jim Nichols]

I agree, George.  Beech only built 7 or 8 of these, in the late 
20s-early 30s, and they varied somewhat from ship to ship.  They had two 
sets of interchangeable  wing panels, short ones for pylon racing, and 
long ones for cross country races.  Jimmy Doolittle flew one of them.
