Not a Boeing or Thomas-Morse. I beleive this model had a Kinner Radial according to my notes. Any More guesses? Anyone "Out To Win" this one?

I think you've got me on this one. Could it be a Fleet of some kind ?

The lines of the nose and cockpits, and especially the gear arrangement said "Fairchild" to me the moment I saw it. But my Jane's only lists one possible aircraft, the only Fairchild biplane listed, and no pics. So it MIGHT be (not likely) a Fairchild KR-21 or KR-34, previously known as a Kreider-Reisner Challenger C6 or C4, respectively. I couldn't find any possibility under Fleet. But the design says 1930's vintage.

It's definitey not a Stearman or a Waco, though.

I'm pretty convinced it's not the KR-21, as the wingstruts (that a word?) aren't right, and the wheels on the 21 have a teardrop like casing. Also, the 21 has a different engine.

I suspect you are right on the KR-34, though.

Great pictures and some nice guesses,:D but they're all wrong.
The aircraft in the photo is a Meyers OTW (One To Win) from 1942. The fuse is aluminum skinned like a modern Cessna. I was going to rub out the tail number, but no one seemed to notice it due to my poor quality photo. I went to AvWeb after my intial post to reseach the type and motor.

Its a Waco

[Paul_B]

Nope, Meyers OTW.
I thought it was a baby Stearman when I first saw this one. But on closer examination, I saw the fuse is metal. I still think this one has a Kinner radial engine. I believe I saw a placard somewhere on the engine. Can anyone ID the engine from this (low) quality picture? This photo is one I took at an Antique and Classic Fly-In @ KDLG Darlington SC 2000.

Paul,
You are right. The NC is pre-WWII (1948)
Post 1948 are prefixed "N"

I couldn't make out the last number on the tail.
I thought it might be the letter "C"

I love this quote I found at the site.

airplane is safe to fly? Just how in the world do
you think it got to be this old?" — Jim Tavenner

I know someone has the answer, but my thought was on the Stearman.

NC34330 This says Warner SS165 series engine. Can anyone verify this visually?
