Stinson SM1-B, Detroiter, (N7654X), Minnesota, Blaine, Anoka County-Blaine Airport

The aircraft in the photograph, built by the Stinson Aircraft Corporation, powered with original Packard diesel aircraft engine claims to have made the worlds first diesel powered flight on September 19, 1928. The claim is made by the narrative on the forward fuselage of the aircraft. (Detail photo of the claim later.)
