Hi Kevin!
Sorry, but I don`t recognize Mike`s offering. Maybe because I am not pre-war nor post-war. Just in between like Mike. Notwithstanding this flaw, very keen to learn what she is :encouragement:
 
This machine was produced about 500 miles from Moses' lair, and was powered by a mighty 40hp motor. Around 40 built. Closely related to another model built by a company acquired by this one...
 
The good old American Eaglet. Back in the 80's when I was in high school our neighbor (Gene Morris) had an Eaglet 230 with a 30hp Szekely (N548Y). Beautiful airplane. Then he and his son moved down to Westlake TX in '85. Not sure what happened to it after that. I keep hoping I'll see it at Oshkosh one of these years.
 
Kids...now this is what happens when you don't read the instructions before putting down your answer. :mixed-smiley-010: ALWAYS READ ALL GIVEN INFORMATION FIRST

2nd try....Porterfield CP-40.
 
Here is another big brute.

The designer was a colorful man, having played professional sports, authored a book, started a magazine among other pursuits.

This was a one-off that barely took to the air before coming to grief. For it's day was chock full of luxurious amenities.
