Boeing F2B-1
"Frisky" just landed at Naval Air Station Lakehurst (KNEL), New Jersey.
Note "N.A.S. ANACOSIA U.S. NAVY" on the fuselage. How strange for a tansamerica record flight as there is around 185 miles between the two Naval Air Stations (N.A.S Anacosia is near Washington D.C.).
Vought UO-1
Scout biplane built by Vought and used by "Frisky" to test the parasite aircraft with the airship.
In fact, such test were made by the Navy at the end of 1929 and 1930. They led to the definitive concept (with onboard hangar) of the future USS Akron (ZRS-4) and USS Macon (ZRS-5).
