That's a Flagg F-15 racer. The EAA did a 1980 article about it here. Click the link and go to page 9: members.eaavintage.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/VA-Vol-...

The fleet number "74" denotes this as United Air Lines' ill-fated Douglas DC-3 (DC-3A-197), registered NC16074 (c/n 1914). NC16074 was in service for a very short time after its delivery to United Airlines on December 1, 1936. The airliner would crash on October 17, 1937, with the loss of all 19 souls (3 crew/16 passengers) aboard, when it flew into the slope of Haydens Peak, WY on Humpy Ridge at an elevation of approximately 10,000-feet.
