Brown and green borders. Heavy folds, paperclip stains, some toning. 9 x 12" The Friesley Falcon was a twin engine, 12 passenger biplane airliner, designed and flown by Bond Spencer in 1921. The only example built was later sold to China. Friesley was a farmer on land along Route 70 between Oroville and Marysvile in California. A large, three bay biplane, its equal span wings had no stagger or sweep. The Falcon did not reach production, but the sole machine did make some of the earliest U.S. commercial passenger flights from Gridley, California to San Francisco and Marysville. It is also claimed to be the first aircraft to take a complete baseball team, the Marysville Merchants, to their game (in August 1921). The Falcon was sold to the Chinese government for $3,000 in May 1922. Ken Prag Collection
