February Mystery Plane

This month's Mystery Plane comes to us from a batch of inter­ esting and rare airplane photos supplied by Ralph Nortell. The jaunty-looking cabin on this smaller monoplane is quite unusual, no doubt an attempt to give the pilot good visibility over the nose. Send your answer to: EAA, Vin­ tage Airplane, P.O.
