JR-1B mail airplane designed by the Standard Aircraft Corporation

  • Charlie J said:
    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

    Dallas Love Field is a very convenient airport for the city of Dallas that has been around for a considerable amount of time. This specific airport allows people to travel without having to drive all the way to the DFW airport, which is about 45 minutes away. Dallas Love Field opened in 1917, (opened to the public in 1927) and it has been a successful airport with major airline carriers such as Southwest Airlines, Continental Airlines, and Delta Airlines. However, throughout the years there have been a lot of legal issues and court battles that DFW Airport fought in order to keep Dallas Love Field from expanding.

    The aircraft appear to be Standard J-1s. See www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=270

    I always think of the Kennedy assassination when I hear of Love Field. That famous picture of Johnson being sworn in was at Love Field.

    This banner on this picture says Flying Officers, Love Field, Dallas, TEX, just as the title of the page. A panoramic picture taken of the entire squad is a great way of showing each officer, and the two planes as well.
