Chron. 24-185-221 'Gray Goose'

This document consists of a series of photographs and an artist's conception regarding an experimental aircraft project identified as the 'Grey Goose' or 'Rotor-Plane', associated with the Rotor-Plane Co. in Baltimore, Maryland. The file, dated August 1949, includes 15 photographs documenting the physical state of the aircraft, which appears to be in a disassembled or storage state within a shed or barn. The visual evidence highlights specific components, including a large disc-shaped structure featuring a tripod mounting and brake drum, as well as the fuselage and tail assembly. The tail assembly is clearly marked with the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) registration number NX 99Y. An artist's sketch, dated August 18, 1949, and drawn by George Rolfe based on a description provided by Special Agent C. E. Belk, illustrates the intended configuration of the 'Rotor-Plane', showing a central disc structure with radiating arms and a conventional fuselage. The document serves as a visual record of this specific aviation project, providing technical details through imagery rather than narrative analysis. The materials are marked as 'CONFIDENTIAL'.
