Eastern Air
Transport Curtiss Kingbird D-2
N620V (c/n 2009)
Eastern Air Transport ordered 14 Kingbirds at the same time that they
ordered the larger
Condor T-32s. Actually, two Kingbirds were cheaper
to operate than one Condor and
these
little 8 seaters were kept busy. In fact, they
were not retired
until 1935, long after
DC-2s had
been delivered to successor Eastern Air Lines. . The above image is
