I did win a case of beer with identifying one of those years ago. It should have the Trojan symbol on the tail, and no it is not being flown by a propholatic salesman.

Ugly was probably one reason why Emigh went out of business after making less than 60 of the design, from 1948 to 1950. That wing with the external ribs was supposedly very strong though.

Okay, that one stumped you guys for all of 24 minutes. Below is the unretouched photo with the N-numbers and Trojan logos.
