Plane - Biplane - Flight risk 1918 Tie
Colorized photo from 1918 July 4th
Original Title: Fourth of July Parade with a Curtiss bombing plane mounted to a truck.
Location: 5th Ave & 58th St looking south
People did weird, crazy and stupid things back then. Such as this, this is a 4th of July parade float featuring an airplane, mounted to a flat bed. The propeller spins, with people sitting on the bed of the truck, just a foot or two from a spinning blade.
I'm sure they really weren't thinking that far ahead when they set this up, or they were simply too complacent about things like this.
Anyway, for those that are interesting this plane is a Curtiss speed scout (sometimes known as a Baby Scout or Model S-1). It never became a plane that went into production. The wings were too short, especially the bottom ones. It ended up being a prototype that they modified over they years.

That's exactly what I was expecting! I made a custom design and it looks so good. I will definitely recommend this shop and service for my friends. Good quality. Exactly like in the photo.

The tie was shown as being black and white on the website but unfortunately it is green and white once I received it. This is false advertisement and I am reporting it. I want my money back. I'm willing to return the tie. It's no good. .

I was beyond thrilled with how this custom tie turned out. I applied my husband’s business name to it all over the place and it was beautifully produced, absolutely perfect. Silky, shiny, exactly as I designed it. The lettering was not raised which was my fear. It formed a part of the tie itself so it looked like it was supposed to be there! My husband loved it and I made 9 more in different designs. Produced very quickly, well packaged and arrived early! I loved this design so much!! The printing is not raised and the tie is silky smooth. It turned out exactly as I designed it!
