1932 Brunner Winkle Bird CK N756N s/n CK4033

This 1932 Bird is unique in that it was Wiley Post’s first new airplane. He picked the aircraft up at the factory and flew it for at least the first 200 hrs. The aircraft was converted to a sprayer in 1951 and though the hopper was removed, is still generally in that configuration. Though not shown in the photos, the Kinner B5 engine is present as are the landing gear, wheels and brakes. The upper wings appear in good condition as does the right lower. The left lower wing is damaged and will need to be rebuilt. It appears that the aircraft went over on its back as the fin and rudder are bent. Several Bird wing drawings come with this project.
