I am searching for photos of any DH-4M2 Atlantic Aircraft (Fokker) in civilian hands. In particular, I am looking for photographic evidence of a DH-4M2 converted to carry mail.
The DH-4M2 was similar to the DH-4M1 (Boeing) in that the fuselage was constructed of tube steel, not wood. The wings, tail surfaces, engine, and many other parts were "stock" DH-4B.
Glenn Peck of Peck Aeroplane Restoration in St. Louis is working on the restoration of the Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum's DH-4M2 and expects to have it flayble during the summer of 2006. We know from our research that Robertson Aircraft owned DH-4Bs, and DH-4M1s. We also know that Charles Lindbergh flew DH-4M2s at or about the same time he was flying the mail for Robertson's CAM 2 route but we do not know if they were St. Louis Air Guard DH-4M2s or Robertson DH-4M2s. You can see the restoration on Glenn's site
