That is very cool. When you said 1929 Travel Air, I was thinking of a
completely different airplane. I took a ride in a '29 Travel Air about a
decade ago at an Antique Aircraft Assoc. fly-in, but it was a 6 seat 6000B
model. It looks like Travel Air was a busy airplane company in 1929. Not
only did they make the 3 seater and 6 seater, but they fielded the Mystery
Ship at the Cleveland Air Races. It's surprising how many are still in the
air.

Yep, Travel Air was one of the most successful of the early aircraft
companies. Considering that they had Lloyd Stearman, Walter Beech,
and Clyde Cessna all on the payroll, I guess that's not surprising.

Sadly, the Great Depression wiped them -- and dozens of others like
them -- out.
