| Bruce Charnov San Diego, CA | This is NOT a photo at the American Helicopter Museum of a PCA-2 Autogiro, but is in fact the PCA-1A, the second Autogiro built in America and the oldest surviving American-built Autogiro. (The NASM's Cierva C.8W Autogiro is older, but built in England by Cierva Autogiro Co. Ltd). The restoration was done by Stephen Pitcairn and Mike Posey or Robbinsville, NJ. The 3-blade propeller is not authentic. 04/23/2011 @ 19:30 [ref: 37552] |
