08/31/2015. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "The two EAs were the first Boeing landplanes, and were essentially Model 3s with side-by-side seating and conventional wheel landing gear supplemented by a third 'anti-nose-over' wheel. The power plant was a 90 hp Curtiss OX-5 engine in place of the Hall-Scott. The designation EA is believed to be a continuation of the alphabetical series of model designations (Model 2 was C, Model 3 could have been D) combined with A-for Army since they were designed for the US Army. Although the aircraft (s/n 536, c/n 4 and 537, c/n 5) were delivered in January 1917, the purchase contract was not signed until April, after the United States had entered WW I."
