Bancroft 1917 Biplane

Built during 1917-18, the single-place, open biplane was a wood and fabric design described as being influenced by Caudron G.3. Employing a two-control (rudder and elevator) system adapted from 1910 Voisin system, it had a small podlike fuselage with twin booms, fabric covered for lateral stability, and two-bay wings that were fairly standard biplane style but minus ailerons.

Possibly powered by a 50-60hp Anzani engine, it reportedly underwent Army evaluation but was rejected and stored away in a barn.

Discovered c.1961 and was undergoing restoration when it was destroyed in a shop fire.

Baltrun 1931 biplane

Newspaper articles show this plane as being a design and partial assembly of Robert L Hall of the Granville Brothers Co, then was completed by students at the Baltrun flight school and apparently flown, piloted by Tony Israelian.

A two-place open cockpit biplane, registered N13230, it was powered by a 60hp LeBlond engine.

It was destroyed in a fire along with several other planes at the airport in 1932.

Looking a bit like a compact Waco UPF, it apparently influenced the subsequent Hall Bulldog also constructed by this same group.

Ball S-T

The Ball S-T two-place open cockpit biplane was built by Clifford Ball, Bettis Field, McKeesport PA., in 1928.

Only one was built, registered N826E c/n 1, it was sold on 3 November 1930 to Pennsylvania Air Lines as a student trainer. The registration expired on 5 December 1932.
