I wish that I had seen these planes fly in person. Not in the movies!

This is the Granville Brothers Model E Sportster, NC11044 (c/n 6) on skis(!). Note the Harris Tibert Company of Los Angeles logo on the side of the aircraft. Harris Tibert was to be a distributor of Granville Brothers aircraft. Enroute to the west coast the aircraft flew in the February 15, 1931 airshow at Chandler Field, Atlanta. While performing in the show the model E nosed into the ground, killing pilot Johnny Kytle. Interesting that the "NC" (or "NR"?) registration prefix is painted out on the aircraft. Here are additional photos of the aircraft and its ski-equipped landing gear in the William Munger Special Collection:
