LINCOLN PT W RESTORATIONYDon Rayborn

Photos by the Author

A 1929 factory photograph of Jim Hayden s Lincoln PT-W the first of only five Warner powered PTsbuilt This is the same photograph used to illustrate the PT-W in Volume 3 of Joe Juptner s U.S. CivilAircraft series. Note the hastily applied registration number on the rudder - probably done for thetaking of this picture.

The restoration of Jim Hayden 's Lincoln PT-W biplane began in 1970 shortly after its Wamer engine was by the Lincoln Flyers, Inc . of Salt Lake City. At the timeof its last logged flight, the aircraft had flown a total of

fitted with new valves and guides. All bearings were replaced but the crankshaft, con rods and pistons are original. The spark plugs are of the original type and thewiring is a very early type of Breeze shielded harness,manufactured by Air Associated. Mags are Bendix Sintilla PN7D's. The aircraft does not have an electrical system. n order to quieten the engine, the tips of the individual exhaust pipes are flattened and perforated with 51small holes in each. The 28.5 gallon gravity fuel tank islocated forward of the front cockpit. The fuel shutoff control is a lever located in the rear cockpit. The fuel guageand engine instruments are located above and forward ofthe front windshield so that they can be viewed by bothpilots. A four gallon oil tank is mounted on the firewall.A wooden Supreme propeller was standard equipmentbut a metal propeller was offered as an option. Hayden'SLincoln was an 0 taper Model 1595 Hamilton Standard,8' in diameter. The logs indicate the propeller was installed in 1934. During the snow plane era the original bladeswere shortened. These were replaced and the hub rebuiltlast year. The carburetor heat box is constantly heated bythe exhaust, a design that reportedly allows better fuelburning characteristics. The carburetor itself is a Stromberg NAR5A updraft type located well below the bottomof the engine.Restoration of the wings is now in the works. The sparsare sitka spruce. Front spars are 1 x 51/2 and the rearspars are P/2" x 31/2 . The original ribs were basswood.These are being replaced with spruce. The bottom wingshave two degrees of dihedral. The top wing is flat. Theinterplane struts are steel and the wings are rigged withstreamline flying wires rather than cables.The control system is interconnected with /s" cable.Elevator cables are doubled. The horizontal stabilizer canbe adjusted with a jack and torque tube arrangement that

is controlled from the rear seat. The pitot tube is locatedon the left N-strut. Control cables are all internal exceptfor the juncture point below the rear control stick wherethey protrude from the bottom of the fuselage. The 24"x 42" cockpits have bucket type seats with wells for parachute packs.

Hayden plans to use the standard factory color schemeof squadron blue on the fuselage and Omaha orange onthe wings. For a number of years the fuselage carriedthe insignia of Betty Boop, an early movie cartoon heroine .Hayden is still considering this nostalgic touch. He expectsto test hop the machine in the summer of 1975.

Cordova flew it in the 1938 race and quit short of Cleveland with a failed Menasco . He later removed the engineand prop and ferried the airplane to New Castle on thetwo remaining engines.

The next year, 1939, was better and Art Bussy finishedsecond, one hour behind Frank Fuller in a big Seversky.At that he averaged 244.486 mph by covering the distance

between Los Angeles and Cleveland in 8 hours 2 minutesand 8 seconds. Second place prize money that year was$5,800.00. Bussy continued on to New York in just tenhours even. The tri-motor then sat in our hangar at Bellanca Field until dismantled and sold to some South American country - probably to never fly again. This was thelast of the special and larger Bellancas.

f you were aerobatically inclined you could have goneto nearby Albia Airport for a session of precision flying inyour Stearman, Waco, Fleet, Driggs Dart, or whatever. Forthose limited by airplane or experience there was a verysimple performance limited to spin, roll and loop. Forothers a full aerobatic routine was prepared in the variousclasses of sportsman, advanced, etc.Always it was "pass th e time of day" with the fellowstanding next to you in the chow line, coke line or watchingthe planes fly by. The joy of greeting old friends was something that just cannot be beaten or appreciated by nonparticipants. This annual renewal of friends and activitiesmust be experienced as it is at all aviation activities andfly-ins all over the country.

the Hall of Fame inductees who will be enshrined in Mayat Hammondsport, NY I was proud and very happy tolearn that Gordon Israel of Howard fame was named as arecipient of this unique honor.I had a long chat with another Hall of Fame Inductee,Mr. Clayton C Scott, the retired Boeing chief test pilot.Mr. Scott is the owner of Jobmaster, Inc., the companythat produces Howard DGA seaplanes. He also owns all theSTCs and ATC for Howard aircraft. He informed me thathe has many parts for the DGA-15. He also told me thathe wants to spend more time fishing and hunting and thatthe whole Howard Aircraft business is for sale. He wouldrather sell it to a Howard enthusiast than a commercialgroup. Here is your chance, you Howard Lovers

The ew lying cesI also had a long visit with Mrs. Jessie Woods, the ladyI mentioned in the May issue. Jessie and her late hu sband

opera ted the "Flying Aces" air show from 1929 to 1939using 3 Travel Air 4000s . Jessie was the wing walker, theparachute jumper and pilot of one of the ships.During our chat she told me about the New FlyingAces" up in the Northwest U.S.A. They are a real bunchof gung-ho antiquers who have the market cornered onTravel Airs, Wacos, Stearmans and many other go ldenoldies. They are part of the Northwest Antique AirplaneClub.Max Robertson, Bob Collins and Bill Warren of Medford, Oregon along with Carroll Pope of Grants Pass, Oregon restored three Travel Air 4000s and painted them inthe original paint scheme of the Flying Aces - completewith the insignia of the hand of aces on the fuselage andthe single ace, each of a different suit, on the verticalfins. The airplanes are all original except for the engines the Weight J-5s have been replaced with 220 Continentals.This past March Jessie Woods joined the New FlyingAces and took a trip into the past. Saturday morning, March23 , 1974, Jessie donned a flying suit and climbed aboardPaul Lawrence's red and white Curtiss Wright Travel Air

the New Flying Aces came when they landed at CottageGrove, Oregon for some gas and some much needed coffee.

As they taxied to the ramp, Jessie spotted those familiar elephant ears on the blue and white 4000 belongingto Carroll Pope. Next in sight was Miss Jessie , th e blueand white 4000 owned and flown by Max Robertson, theirhost for the weekend . . . and the ramrod behindthe revitalization of the Flying Aces.The sight of the two Travel Airs brought a tear to theeyes of Jessie - as she put it, I kept swallowing, but th elump in my throat stayed. After much back-slapping,hugging and hand shaking, they were off for Medfordwhere the third and final Travel Air of the Flying Aceswould join the flight. The trip over the snow coveredCalapooya Mountains was cold and slow, but rewarding.As the Medford airport came into view, so did the brightred and white Travel Air of Bob Collins and Bill Warren .Jessie was freezing, but seeing those 3 Travel Airs soonwarmed the blood and heart. The evening was spent atMax and Michelle Robertson's place talking about TravelAirs and the Flying Aces.

Sunday morning dawned bright and clear and soonJessie Woods would be treated to one of the greates t moments of her life. After a short trip to the airport in MaxRoberton's meticulously restored Model A truck, th e three220 Continentals barked to life and as the Flying Acestaxied out in formation, Jessie closed her eyes for a moment and thought, Is it really March 1974 . or is itMarch 1929? The New Flying Aces treated Jessie and herfriends to a special show reminiscent of 1929.

When it was over and time for home, Jessie expressedher feelings with th e following words, Here at last mydream had come tru e This flight had been made th at Imight see three Travel Airs together once again and repainted in the same configuration as our Flying Aces AirCircus of the late 20s and 30s . I too, like Alice walkedthrough a looking glass into the past and experienced th edelights of 'The Medford Occasion' .

I salute you , Max Robertson, Bob Collins, Bill War

(Photo y Gene Chase)The Grand Champion of the 1974 Tulsa Fly-In held at Tahlequah, Oklahoma, the one and only Luscombe Colt. Beautifully restored by Bobby Slaton and Joe Johnson of Bedford, Texas, the aircraftwas built by Don Luscombe and engineer Fred Knack in 1944 - in Luscombe's back yard at Ambler,Pennsylvania. Several companies, including Weatherly-Campbell and Swallow Aircraft Corporation,acquired the design rights at one time or another, but, unfortunately, the plane was never put in pro-duction. It's a shame because the Colt flies beautifully.

HOWDY DO, Y ALL WELCOME TO TAHLEQUAH "


19/24

One very nice feature of the Tahleq uah location is th eutilization of th e facilities of the Northeastern State College for lodging and meals. THE place to stay - where allthe action is - is on campus in the visitors dorm. Quitea bargain - four bucks a head a night. Impromptu liveentertainment - including a w ild west show" - carriedon for hours in the dorm lounge . Registration fees of onlyeight dollars for the fly-in included the Friday night friedchicken dinner at the airport, the Saturday evening cocktail hour and banquet and a Sunday morning breakfast inthe S t u ~ e n t Union on campus. These accommodationsreally help solidify the group and added considerablecontinuity throughout the weekend.This setting provides an environment of naturalbeauty, fine facilities and genuine hospitality that is difficult to match. Mix in exotic airplanes such as the one andonly Luscombe Colt and you have the ingredients for atremendous weekend.Early arrivals were in abundance this year and by Fridayevening quite a cross section of airplanes were sitting onthe turf. The resultant turnout for the evening cookout wasexcellent. The meal actually was a catered chicken dinnerserved in the hangar and was as good as if it had comestraight from the finger lickin' shop. The Fixed Base Op -erator, Cecil Hammons, really contributed to the successof the evening by allowing the use of his hangar - in fact,he practically turned over his facilities to the fly-in forthe entire weekend. Of course, the meal was only the startof the evening.After a short bu s ride from the field to the collegecampus, th e party began with the introduction of JohnTurgyan's and Bob Taylor's liquid fixins '. First rate enter-tainment was provided by Alex Whitmore and his guitar,which completed the makings for a genuine wild westshow

Saturday morning activities started with a fly-out to agrass strip called Whitehorn Cove located just a few min-utes west of Tahlequah on the shore of Fort Gibson Reservoir. Within a short walk of this smooth runway is a neat

Curtis Pitts designed andbuilt this little speedster for the old Goodyear class andit was flown in competition by Phil Quigley and Bill Brennand. This was the second of two racers built by CurtisPitts. It is now owned by James Dulin, Box 158, Paoli,Oklahoma 73074 and the aircraft is based at the PaulsValley Airport. Power is still the Goodyear required Continental 85.
