| The first "Mystery Ship", NR614K (Race No. 31), was designed for both closed course and long distance racing. NR614K had two sets of wings, a shorter set of racing wings, about one and one half foot (.46m) shorter in span and three inches (7.62 cm) narrower in chord than the set used for cross country events. R614K was destroyed when it caught fire before the 1931 Thompson Trophy race. The original long wings and tail then resided at the Beechcraft Heritage Museum in Tennessee and are now on display at ................ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel_Air_Type_R_Mystery_Ship | |
