I am directing this question to Mr. Baxter as he is the forums resident historical expert of Stardusters.
Dave, many years ago at Oshkosh, I would say 20 years but it could easily have been 30, I saw a silver Starduster. This is all from memory so you may make corrections
It was a very nice plane, not shiny paint but more satin glow to it. I do not remember any contrasting colors, I believe it was totally silver.This plane had fairings everywhere, some of the fairings may even have had fairings ! They were beautiful done, excellent workmanship but there were so many - - - -
I am curious as to what effect these fairings had on performance or were they all for show ? I would like to know anything you can tell me about this plane. I have photo's somewhere, that I have not been able to find, that show the registeration number. If you need this to jog your memory I will do another search.
Very few aircraft have stuck in my memory like this one has
Thank you Dave
