Now Papa,

Thats not fair just because I like to put really interesting pics for the mass to ponder.

OK, my source says it was Buck Weaver, the founder of WACO. Well done, RobAnt. I read it while searching for background information on the Reynolds Museum in Alberta, Canada, and hope soon to put up a major thread covering my visit there last August. Too late, crazymainer – I put this question up in revenge for all the tricky questions you keep coming up with!

The Aircraft is The Cootie, or Waco 1 (same thing). The brother’s name is Herb.

Hi Papa,

Can I play or since I own a Restaurant and know Who this person is and the Famous Bi-Plane, I’m not allowed.

It wasnt Buck Weaver, it was his brother, so your question is a little misleading.

“Buck Weaver’s brother invented the ice cream treat called the Eskimo Pie.”

No, EN830, he was an American and his biplanes in particular became VERY famous, although they didn’t bear his name!
