Fowler-Gage

Fowler-Gage NASM restoration with OX-5

Four or five 1912 Fowler-Gage were built for exhibition pilots Robert Fowler (aka Fowler-Gage with 80hp Hall-Scott A-3, occasionally on floats), Roy Francis, Phil Parmalee, and J Clifford Turpin.

The design was carried forward to the twin-prop Patterson-Francis.

The Fowler-Gage was donated to Smithsonian in 1950 and restored for display by NASM in 1988.
