Not to much life left in the E,F!and Ds, worked HS at wrighr pat and ellsworth loved that aircraft felt pride every time onhe took off always grembat to watch.

Nothing sad about it. They were old models that had long been retired and were never going back into service anyway. They had no usable parts for the G and H models, the only ones left at that time.
