Harold Johnston with his G-1 Steam Airplane Engine circa 1932 - T David Gibbons Collection

Finished updating the LC-11 articles with the information from the National Air and Space Museum. While I had initially though the Johnston Steam Engine was installed on X-889E, it turns out it was used on the first of the monoplanes, X-7997. To accommodate this information the article on X-7997 has been split into two parts. I will hopefully be receiving additional information later this month on several of the aircraft and will update the information on the pages when it comes in.

Update for 5-9-2016

Updated the entry for X-551E with some new information and a photo of a C-6 Challenger like the one A.H. Kreider was flying when he collided with the Ranger monoplane.

Also have new information on the other two LC-11 monoplanes, X7997 and X889E, unfortunately, it seems the records for the two ships were combined together in the entries for X7997 so I'll be doing a little bit of research to determine which record goes where.

I will be adding an article on the last of the LC-11's, NC889E and grouping all the engine and plane specs on their own separate page. Lastly, I will complete the Babcock Bio pages as soon as I've verified a few more bits of data.
