This is truly a one-of-a-kind speciment. Built in 1926 by brothers Carl and Guy Winstead in Wichita, Kansas, the airplane was used for barnstorming, air racing, and flying circus shows. After languishing for decades, this beautiful aircraft took to the air in the 1990s after a painstaking four-year restoration. She is a proud part of the maginificent Golden Age Air Museum collection.
