Wings of Texaco 1931 Stearman Biplane Bank 3rd in Series Ertl Collectibles NEW
Description
The "Texaco 14" Stearman biplane was purchased for a little under $15,000 from the Stearman Aircraft Company of Wichita, Kansas in July 1931. The 300 h.p. Wasp Jr. radial engine delivered a top speed of 145 m.p.h. and a maximum range of 720 miles. Also, the Stearman earned praises from young pilots for being a remarkably easy and forgiving plane to fly.
This particular Stearman was promptly put to work as rapid transportation for the Texaco General Domestic Sales Department under J.D. Jernigan. It was transferred to J.L. Wheeler in the Northwestern Territory and served until November 1932, when Aubry Kief in the Central Territory acquired the rugged Stearman. It continued to serve Texaco until its retirement in February 1936.
