Anderson Special

Anderson Special N5541N

The 1948 Anderson Special was a single-place low wing 85hp Continental C-85 powered midget racer with a diamond-shaped fuselage cross-section. Raced by Bruce Raymond as Ace of Diamonds and Beetle Bomb, registered N5541N, it was modified as mid-wing in 1949.

The Special crashed in racing in 1950 and the wings were salvaged for use on the 1953 Pitt Yellow Jacket.
