08/31/2007. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "The Travel Air Manufacturing Company was formed by Walter Beech, Clyde Cessna, Walter Innes and Lloyd Stearman, at Wichita, Kansas, USA, in 1925. The first Travel Air 2000 was built in 1927 (as was NC6282) and over 600 were built.

The type was also known as the Wichita Fokker, due to its resemblance to the Fokker D.VII. It has also the nickname "Old Elephant Ears" due to the horn-balanced ailerons. The three-seat aircraft was used by barnstormers, two passenger could be seated side-by-side in front of the pilot."
