Hall of Ryan Airlines and was named The Spirit of St. Louis in honor of Lindbergh's supporters from The St. Louis Raquette Club in his then hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. To save design time, the NYP was loosely based on the company's 1926 Ryan M-2 mailplane with the main difference being the 4,000 mile range of the NYP, and as a non-standard design the Government assigned it the registration number N-X-211 (for "experimental"). Hall documented his design in "Engineering Data on the Spirit of St. Louis" which he prepared for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and is included as an appendix to Lindbergh's 1953 Pulitzer Prize winning book, The Spirit of St. Louis.

Navy Bird Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 This is one to look forward to! Can anyone inform me of what the other marking schemes are? I'm really only familiar with the markings used on the transatlantic flight, and I've read that Ryan only built one NYP. Are the other schemes for replica aircraft built elsewhere? Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B. Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I think the second plane was made for a buyer in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upnorth Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Looks nice. I hope this might be the starting point of a series of Ryan planes of the period, like the Brougham series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I think the second plane was made for a buyer in Japan. Built for a Japanese newspaper and designated NYP-2. Crashed in 1928. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
