The Waco Taperwing
July 4, 2008
This is the same airplane shown in the photo below with my great uncle Elmer M. Hinck. There were two Waco Taperwings at Northwest Airlines; one purchased by Shorty DuPonti and the other one by my grandfather. Rumor had it that when this photo was taken, the airplane was being run up by my father, Irving, who was about fourteen years old at the time.
