First USN fighter with tricycle gear, first jet to land on a carrier. *Turbojet was added in aft fuselage after two flights with the Wright only for use in climbs and combat. This is often thought to be a US-Costa Rica flight, which was a deception by Loeb after being denied CAA approval for a transatlantic crossing, even to the extent of painting crossed US and Costa Rican flags on the plane.įR-1 Fireball (Model 28) - 1pClwM rg 1350hp Wright R-1820-56 + 1600# GE I-16 turbojet* span: 40'0" length: 32'4" load: 1947# v (both engines): 426/399/91 v (Wright only): 295/153/x range: 1030 ceiling: 43,100' (data for FR-1). $10,900, $9,985 in 1931 POP: 3, of which initially had Packard DR-980 diesel and a designation of C-2 under (2-263), lost at sea on a transatlantic flight attempt on 8/11/39, from NYC to Palestine (p: Alex Loeb, Richard Dekker).

#DOUGLAS M2 MAILPLANE REGISTRATION#
Since that B-1 was not a production aircraft, the "N-X" registration would have been consistent with the regulations however, the X for Experimental was not officially adopted until 1929. Lindbergh's registration is enigmatic, indicating it was licensed in the Experimental category in April 1927. The plane featured in the 1957 movie, "The Spirit of St Louis," was actually a rebuilt B-1 modified by Tallmantz Aviation of Santa Ana CA.
Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St Louis was the second B-1 built (span: 46'0" length: 27'7", $10,580). Originally $12,200, reduced to $9,700 with J-5, and $5,750 with Hisso POP: about 150, of which one was fitted with floats under (2-18). 1968: Acquired by Teledyne Inc as Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical.
