F. Aeroplanew Aviation Post Sl. San Antonio Texas. The Plane is the type they would train on.The L-W-F Engineering Company was organized in December, 1915, its chief asset the laminated wood monocoque fuselage machine which has carried the present company's name to such widely-separated places as Texas and the Czecho-Slavic front. This, with a sturdy military chassis, enabled the machine to mount the new motor, although the power of previous motors used in it had been about half that anticipated from the Liberty. On the 21st of August, 1917, the new motor in its adapted plane was flown successfully for the first time. The results were gratifying. The machine reached an altitude of 7,000 feet in the first ten minutes, and a 19,000 feet ceiling at the end of fourteen minutes. It proved faster than the Nieuport Speed Scout then at Mineola, one of the fastest European planes of its day. Sold as found.We are not postcard experts.
