Beard noted in the Remarks column of the Register, "National Air Tour" and "Ate your dust, back for more". NX3132 carried S/N 805. It was manufactured during 1927. The airplane was the prototype for testing the Fairchild Caminiz engine. There is more information about NX3132 and the Caminez engine installation at pilot Beard's link.

Below, from the San Diego Aerospace Museum (SDAM), is another photo of the airplane with people aboard. Can anyone IDENTIFY the people?
