    ppendixE Three Views of all lexander ircraft Models

    In

    the seven years of

    its

    existence, the Alexander ir-

    craft Company produced

    five

    distinctive designs: the

    Eaglerock biplane (bqth in its Long-wing and Center

    section versions); the Sedan/Transport; the Bullet; the

    "Trainer" Primary Glider

    and

    the Flyabout. Only fragmen

    tary manufacturing drawings exist for these Alexander air

    craft. The following nine pages of three-views were drawn

    by Walt Maston, using the best available surviving data.

    Their accuracy varies from the exact (direct measurements

    of a surviving "Trainer") to the "best guess" (the

    reconstruction of the Sedan/Transport from two known

    dimensions and four photographs). The originals of the

    drawings were prepared In 1 2 1 =1 foot scale and they

    have been photographically reduced to

    fit this book's page

    size. The drawings appear in chronological sequence.

    Incomplete records indicate the Alexanders built ap

    proximately 5 "cabane-type" biplanes and 441 "Center

    section" Eaglerocks for a total of 895. There was a single

    "Transport" and 11 Bullets constructed (although 14

    Bullet serial numbers were as

    built in approximately 350 exa

    err on the high side. f Aircraf

    are considered, there were 19

    powered monoplanes that m

    production numbers rely on F

    Oklahoma City and may be re

    by the author and others.
