Here's a vintage model of a vintage airplane designed by Italian
Maurice Mouton
and published in the book
Les Cahiers du Modelisme No 1.
The
Bird Biplanes
were built in 1931 in Brooklyn, New York by the Bird Aircraft Corporation and were intended for the barnstorming and business travel markets.
The
Bird
is unique in that the area of the upper wing is twice that of the lower wing - and, in comparison to its competitors, it carried the same or even a greater load on half of the available horsepower.
The
Golden Age Air Museum
in Bethel, Pennsylvania added one to its collection in 2001 and used it for sightseeing rides until 2008. It is still maintained in airworthy condition.
