he built it from a wrecked fokker he found in woods
An original D7 frame? Or he based a replica on an existing frame?original motor D.III au plane was wrecked sat in woods 30-40 years...he bought plans off trade a plane built frame and wings to retsore wrecked fokker... wood was rotted away frame was well a wrecked airplane.. so he saved what he could and built a relpica from a real plane...
Where was it built in Canada? riverdle michigan.. plane crashed in woods in michigan...probaly on way to meet gansters from chicago... who knows could have been al capone.. noone was ever caught ...noone knows...they just wrecked it and left it in woods...
You may want to look into the origin of the most original D7...the one in Knowlton QC.did the 400 canada got from germany sat in storage and never left ground.. these where all 10500/18 serial number planes...
http://www.bromemuseum.com/ This one was a war prize I think.
actually there where 400 of them canada got as a war prize...guy storing them got caught stunt flying them in airshows... this wreck could have been one of these planes flying rum to pay for airshows.. would make sense...everyone was looking for a biplane noone could find.. so they took one wing off flew it to confuse revenue agents... and who else but a stunt pilot would think to take a wing off.. could be why it crashed.. to uch rum not enough wing..lol idk. details.
