aircraft but also quotes 11 MB-3 aircraft delivered to the US Marine Corps
A6071 Thomas-Morse MB-7
The MB-7 was built on the request of the US Navy. They had recently received the Thomas-Morse MB-3, and asked
B Douglas Thomas to modify two of them to be racers. The first MB-7 was completed in 1921. It took
part in the 1921 Pulitzer Trophy race, but during the race its fuel pump malfunctioned and it crashed
and was destroyed by fire when a lighted match by a souvenir hunter which ignited the fuel. The second
MB-7 was completed in January 1922. It first flew in 14 April 1922. It competed for the US Navy in the
Pulitzer Trophy on 14 October 1922. Piloted by Captain Francis Pat Mulcahy, it withdrew after 30 minutes
with an overheating engine. It never flew again before being dismantled on 7 January 1925.

record of 188.07 mph.

A6969 The actual A6969 was written off 12/17/29 after a crash landing on Jones' Farm,
Hampton, VA (pilot okay). The aircraft at the National Naval Aviation Museum is
actually a Curtiss/W.L. Hodson, P-1 Hawk, unknown s/n with MSN 60.
W.L. Hodson apparently rebuilt a P-1 Hawk, date unknown.
Unknown date: To Roy Reagan, Chico, CA with c/r N6969. He donated the aircraft to
the NNAM. Apparently Mr. Reagan had painted and marked the plane as F6C-1 A6969,
because the NNAM said its been on display since 1986, the year they acquired it,
so it must have been painted as such when they got it. Registration N6969 was

the pilot decided to head back home but not long after, the pilot realized that he had not enough power
to stay in the air and had no choice but to try a full stall landing in the water, which was successful
ten miles from Delmar, CA.15Nov37. The aircraft was recovered within the hour, the plane being only
slightly damaged. Pilot unhurt. Aircraft recovered after one hour in water but SOC

9350/9376 Grumman FF-1
Model G-5. 22 examples modified by Naval Aircraft Factory, Philadelphia as FF-2 for Navy and Marine Corps reserve units.
9351 was formerly Nicaragua AF GN-3, a Grumman G-23 aircraft assembled under license by CC&F of
Canada, MSN 101 and was not operated by US Navy. It was the sole example purchased by the Nicaraguan government.
After seeing limited service, it was relegated to a scrap yard at Zololtan Air Field in 1942, destined to
remain there until 1961, when J.R. Sirmons, an Oklahoma fertilizer and spray plane pilot hired to work in
Nicaragua, discovered it. Brought to the United States and restored by Grumman in the markings of the
"Red Rippers" of Fighting Squadron (VF) 5B, which in 1933 had been the first squadron to receive the FF-1s,
the aircraft was flight delivered to the Museum in June 1967. Currently in National Naval Aviation Museum,
Pensacola, FL.
