| Cool, the text I've read before during this search, but the Wasp&Hornet part of the pic led me to this higher res of the pic plus presumably another pic of the plane, look at items 17 and 12 on this link LOUISiana Digital Library : Search Results |

| Great find - I think there are only a handful of photos of the Model 45 (XP-34, XP-34 prototype or predecessor). It seems Wedell was really experimenting with this aircraft, not only for racing but for an Army contract.

| Yeap looks like it is a modified Grumman FF-1 turned into a monoplane. It even has the belly and retracable landing gear. Only difference is the missing lower wing and the the tail is different.

| Well, with a belly like that, if it's not a Grumman then it's a Curtiss. The nearest I can think of is the Curtiss XF12C-1 which first flew in July 1933 with a Wright R-1510-92 radial. Originally designed as a 2-seat fighter. It was later re-engined with a Wright SR-1820-80 when tested by the USN in October later that year. It was redesignated the XS4C-1 in December 1933 when the 2-seat fighter role was dropped, and then redesignated yet again in January 1934 to the XSBC-1 when it became a scout-bomber. It later crashed during a demonstration in June 1934. |

| Can't quite see the rear fuselage that well, so first thoughts are either a Maryland or Baltimore... |
