Jim Harvey's first Monocoupe was NC38902 a Franklin powered Model 90AF. Al Stix found some old photo negatives of NC38902 and was able to scan and digitize them. This ship was one of the five Monocoupes in the Great Monocoupe Race of 1960 (post below). Jim had an engine failure in NC38902 and was able to safely make a local field, but did have a slight incident.
From old club Newsletters it appears that Jim Harvey owned NC38902 for five years. Originally assigned to the group of 90AF’s destined for the Free French in WWII, but was never delivered. The aircraft was destroyed in a departure stall/spin in the 1980’s. Thankfully, both occupants survived.
