Command-Aire only exists five years 1928-1931 but had built over 300 ac.
I’m desperately looking for images of the one and only EDO float-equipped Command-Aire 3C3-A. It was the c/n W-79 and registered NC916E. Any help available?

Got an image of Command-Aire 3C3-A NC916E from Bob Lock (owner of NC997E) Thanks for the hint J Boyle!

What a coincidence…
Check the AAA website…they have color photos of a new Command-Aire restoration.http://www.antiqueairfield.com
No floats, but it has nice shots of the factory paint scheme in correct colours.
You can find 311 images 😮 of this particular ac here

I just checked the Juptner series (U.S. Civil Aircraft, Vol 2) which covers ATC 101-200 (the 3C3-A was ATC 118) and it doesn’t have a photo of it.
Might I suggest contacting the AAA?
http://www.antiqueairfield.comI don’t know if this will help, but the only thing Juptner says about that particular example is it was issued a Group 2 approval number 2-137 with a allowabe gross weight of 2305 pounds. It was powered by a Warner 110 and seems to be the only float example built.
Thank you! Sent an email to the headquarter.
