Alex Papana, famed Rumanion aerobatic pilot, who exhibited it in the 1936 National Air Races at os Angeles an other National and International meets. Col. Mike Murphy, international aerobatic champion for several years, purchased the plane in 1940 and flew it in all major U.S.A meets and competitions until retiring. 

Beverly Howard purchased this plane from Col. Murphy in 1946 and has flown it in all major meets since that time, including meets in France and Germany in 1950. This type plane was designed as a sport plane, but was used to train many pilots of the German Luftwaffe prior to World War II.
