Summary

[edit]
Description

c/n 1340 Built 1929 The Travel Air Company was formed in January 1925 by Lloyd Stearman, Walter Beech and Clyde Cessna, three now familiar names in American aviation. Their 2000, 3000 and 4000 series of biplanes first flew in March 1925 and were produced in larger numbers than any other aircraft of the period, with at least 1,300 produced. This example was built as an E-4000 in 1929, but was converted to a D-4D in 1930 with a 240hp Wright J-6-7 engine and shorter, cleaner ‘speed’ wings. It was flown by the Skywriting Company of America, based at Bennett Field in Long Island, New York. The Pepsi-Cola Corporation was one of the longest-running Skywriting contractors Pepsi-Cola donated the aircraft to the Smithsonian Institute in 2000 and it is seen on display at the Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center as part of the National Air and Space Museum. Washington Dulles International Airport, Chantilly, Virginia
