This is actually Lockheed Model 12A Electra Junior, NC18130 (c/n 1226). The aircraft is still extant and flying. Here is an extensive history of this particular airplane from delivery to FC Hall in 1937 to present: www.airborneattitude.com/pdfs/1226_complete.pdf The aircraft, originally delivered as NC18130, was registered here as R18130 (NR18130) for use by test pilot and air racer Milo Burcham in the 1937 Bendix Trophy race, in which Burcham and "Villa" would finish fifth.

"By April 8 [1916], General Pershing was more than four hundred miles into Mexico with a troop strength of 6,675 men. The expedition set up its headquarters in the town of Colonia Dublan and its supply base on a tract of land near the Casas Grandes River. " Colonia Dublán was a Mormon colony in Chihuahua, Mexico. www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/1997/winter/mexica... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonia_Dubl%C3%A1n

6,675! That's the size of a reinforced regiment/brigade in today's military formations.

Date scratched in mirror view on right upper corner 5/-/16 (May (?), 1916). Most likely pursuin Pancho Villa
