EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Travelair Mystery Ship Mysterys Texaco No. 13 Set, a groundbreaking aircraft that rewrote the aviation record books in the early 1930s. Piloted by the legendary aviator Captain Frank Hawks, this Travelair Mystery Ship, registration number nr1313, set over 200 new speed records during its tenure. The image captures the sleek and innovative design of the plane, with its streamlined body and distinctive tail fin. The Travelair Mystery Ship was a product of the Travel Air Manufacturing Company, a pioneering aircraft manufacturer based in Wichita, Kansas. Designed for long-distance, high-speed flight, the Mystery Ship was a significant departure from the bulkier and less aerodynamic planes of the time. Its advanced features, including a streamlined fuselage, retractable landing gear, and a powerful Wright Whirlwind engine, made it a formidable contender in the world of aviation. Captain Hawks, an experienced and daring pilot, pushed the Mystery Ship to its limits, setting record after record during its brief but impressive career. In 1930 and 1931, the plane broke records for speed over a closed circuit, speed over a straight line, and speed over a triangular course, among others. Hawks' daring exploits in the Mystery Ship cemented his place in aviation history and showcased the incredible potential of this innovative aircraft. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the early aviation era, and the Travelair Mystery Ship Mysterys Texaco No. 13 Set remains an enduring symbol of the spirit of adventure and exploration that defined the golden age of flight.
