....My notes said it was a Steerman RT17/N7S but I can't read my
writting. I just remember that many of you like the "gull wing" bird and
that is why I post it.

It's a Stinson. You can make out the Stinson bow and arrow logo on the
vertical fin.

1. No such animal as a Steerman. They were Stearman's. the founder of that
company was Lloyd Stearman who later sold the company to Boeing who actually
built the model 75 airplanes that were known as Stearman Cadets and were
built by the thousands during WWII.

2. Regardless this is a Stinson "The Stinson Aircraft Company was founded
in Dayton, Ohio, in 1920 by aviator Edward "Eddie" Stinson-nine years after
he learned to fly with the Wright Brothers. In 1925 Stinson would make
Detroit, Michigan, the base of operations for his company. Over the next
three decades, more than 13,000 aircraft would carry the Stinson brand."
