Pitcairn Aviation was located in Horsham Township, PA - about 15 miles north of center city Philadelphia. The Pitcairn facility later became Willow Grove NAS and later Willow Grove Joint Reserve Base. The installation closed in 2011 and is most of its land is in the process of being transferred to local authorities.

Actually this is not a Pitcairn design at all. This is the Cierva C.8W or C.8 Mk IV which was taken to United States in 1928. The upturned wingtips and the modified fin/rudder was done when there. It was flown by Harold Pitcairn at Bolling Field (seen here?), Washington on May 14th 1929 showing it for US Government officials. Stig
