This is actually a photo of the Duo-4 at Muroc Dry Lake (a.k,a. Rogers Dry Lake) in March 1931, after a gust of wind caused it to nose over and collide with a car, as well as a camera (as seen in the British Pathé / British Paramount newsreel footage linked below). Of course, Muroc today is the site of Edwards Air Force Base. YouTube - British Pathe / British Paramount: "A CAMERAMAN'S THRILL - Muroc, California - First test of novel plane, with twin engines mounted horizontally, provides unexpected excitement."

Once more, thanks staff at SDASM for the plethora of Golden Age subjects. A wonderful time, only marred by the completely annoying "new" Flickr, which is a nightmare for the users. I pass along the links to this postings to aviation friends that become so aggravated by how slow, glitchy and ill-designed Flickr is through a wide spectrum of computers and OS, that they just drop it without been able to enjoy these incredible collections.
