The 1926 Yackey BRL-12 Transport was a conversion of war surplus Breguet 14.B2 with corrugated-metal fuselage.
One was converted for Dr Matthew Stirling 1926 New Guinea expedition, as “The Ern” for $7,500. When glue on the wooden floats deteriorated after two months, the plane was abandoned on the Mamberamo River.
