Image
Right side view of an American Eagle Model A-101, a light 2/3-seat biplane, sitting in a field. The tail identifier reads: "5839." Four men are posing with the airplane: the pilot is sitting in the front cockpit, wearing an aviator cap and goggles, with another man sitting beside him on the left. The third man is sitting in the rear cockpit, and the fourth man is standing along the side of the airplane behind the three men. A number of slogans have been painted onto the side of the airplane: "Air Male," "Excuse Our Backwash," "In God We Trust," "Flying GOTT M*I*T UNS Club," "All Hope Abandoned Ye Who Enter Here," "Business End," "Save Old Iron Sides," "Engine Room." There is also a drawing of a skull and crossbones. The airplane body has a distinctive shiny steel texture with a circular pattern around the nose and the cockpits.
circa 1920-1929
