Circa 1924 a single-place 180hp Hisso powered acer, named Miss Wichita, was built.
Each one of the first batch of New Swallows built by Stearman in late 1923 was different since there were no plans until Stearman put things on paper. At first they used Laird’s lofting method of laying out everything on the floor full-size, then modified and altered at will.
The Racer is a clipped-wing version, with plain ailerons (elephant-ears came later) and vertical cabanes. Engines were whatever was on hand and this appears to be the big Hisso.
It could be the very one used by Walt Beech to win the Efficiency Race.
