Anderson-Greenwood
AG-14 NX80828 (proto) and
N3902K (c/n 3)
This two-seat, twin-boom light
cabin monoplane was first flown in
October of 1947. A production
prototype flew three years later
and a line was set up for quantity
production. Unfortunately the
Korean War took precedent and
only four production AG-14s were
completed, the company
then utilizing its engineering
capabilities in subcontracting work for
various airframe companies.
Shown above in a photograph obtained
from Anderson-Greenwood in 1948 (maybe they thought
that
I, as an Air Training Corp cadet, was a potential distrubutor!) is the
prototype NX80828.
The shot below illustrates ship #
3 which I stumbled across at the old San FernandoValley Airport
(long since a housing estate) in
1958. It was owned and operated at the time by Air Associates,
Inc. a local aircraft instrument
dealer.
