This is a picture of one of my uncles. It is undated and location unknown but thought it my be of interest to some. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

Is that the Randolph Field Taj Mahal back over the tail of the A/C? Is this the largest pic you have, or can you zoom in on that feature?

This is the largest picture I have of this. Zooming in with PS at higher resolution does not show any more detail. I do know that at one time my uncle was stationed at Randolph Field, but I don't know when. My uncle and aunt are both dead, so I cannot get a location from them

I'm pretty sure that's NOT the Taj. It's the "horn" on the rudder - probably either for aerodynamic or balance purposes.

Looks like a Curtis bipe. Maybe a P-1?

Might be a Curtiss A-3. Maybe.
