Question about "Chautauqua":

(Image removed from quote.)

Aboout have my references show this aircraft as fuselage number 109, the other show her as #119.   Not sure which is correct...

Not sure I know I don’t have any images showing 109. I will go back and read the decal sheets to see if there is more info.

From one of my books only three options could be available for this plane since we can see the number 9 in several images on the engine cowling
109 119 129.





We can rule out 109 based off the image below. Also the only image that I have found where you can see the triangles on the horizontal tail clearly.

Not sure I trust that image entirely - I think the wing stripes were yellow, not blue.

Interesting that the tail device was repeated only on the left stabilizer, not both.  I've seen this depicted both ways.

I think the blue triangle is incorrectly oriented; the tip should be pointing at the outside tip if the stab, as if it is a reflection of the triangle on the tail (shown in the photo of the flight of 4) below.
