    Only six of the JR-1 planes were sold to the US Mail Service in 1918 -- as model JR-1B. They were equipped with the 150hp Wright-Hisso A.

    I have additional photos of Max Miller with this plane # 1. It is pictured in Lock Haven Pa with my great Uncle Paul Brosious who was the post master at the time. My pictures do not have the mailbag appearing but it is plane # 1.

    I take it back... I just looked at the pictures that I have and the mail bag is on the plane. I never noticed it before as it is not as noticeable with the angles of my pictures. I have a series of 9 pictures from the day including one of the plane in flight.
