Shultzie,
I think that that USA-1 is actually Jerry Worth's Apterix (or NASA-1). USA-1 is not on the wing, plus the cowling is of a slightly different shape (I've been looking at too many pictures of the great ole USA-1).
THANKS MATT for correcting my brain oldfart...See what happens when your brain is on drugs or dope fumes?
I HAVE SLIDES OF JERRY'S THAT I SHOT OF JERRY WORTH'S MODELS OPPS...CHECK THE AMA NUMBER, PROVES ME VERY WRONG...HUH?
Over the years....I have given away soooooooooo many of my old slides and I truly miss so many of them...especially Jerry Worth's beautiful CLPA models and even more....his truly hauntingly beautiful scale models. I shot almost a full roll of Kodachome 10 on Jerry Worth's models alone.
Check the trim stripes and the ama #s....that tell the TRUFFFFFFFFFFF!
