    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.
  • psupilot86 said:
    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.

Airmail pilot Robert Shank after crash

from Smithsonian Institution

  • Kees Kort said:
    The machine on the picture is not correctly identified. The crashed machine is a Standard JR-1B which can be easily identified by a different form of rudder, different wings and a headrest for the pilot. Standard made the machine in small numbers as a special single seat post plane, where the mail was carried in the department of the fuselage in front of the pilot. Cheers Kees
