Varney Air Lines     Stearman M-2 Speedmail   (NC)9051          (c/n  1001)

                                    

                                        Varney was quite happy with the earlier Stearman C-2MBs he had purchased and hence ordered,
                                        from Stearman, a special version of the C-3B with a modified forward fuselage area capable of
                                        hauling 1,000 lbs of freight and mail.  The first of six of these is seen above in this image from the
                                        William T. Larkins collection.
