L-W-F Model H Owl - AS64012

L-W-F Model H Owl AS64012, in later guise with extended centre nacelle and four-wheel main undercarriage. The Owl was distinctive for its tube-like twin booms with central nacelle fuselage, high-lift wings, triple fins and biplane stabilizers; the six-wheel undercarriage was later converted to four wheels. Originally planned as a transport aircraft or long-range night mail plane (hence the Owl name), the interest came from the United States Air Service, which took the sole aircraft on charge for flight testing
