Was wondering if someone has the pictures, and information if any, of the original Nobler that was a version of the Chief I believe. I've seen a rather fuzzy picture in a magazine some years ago, but don't have it any more. Any and all details would be appreciated. This would be before the 52' Nobler version. H^^

The kit Brodak sells is the first Nobler as such George Aldrich built. That airplane was repaired and the plans drawn from it. I understand that George built and flew a number of Chiefs, but I don't know if he did any modifications as such before the original Nobler. As a side comment, I watched George build a Nobler in 1955. He built it off the MAN 1952 plans. Given all the building without plans he did, that strikes me as an unusual thing to have seen.

In the article in 1952 on what we call the original Nobler there is a picture of a earlier Nobler. George make a coment it is a earlier job.
