I did think that this needed help. Anyhow, point to Dave, assuming the description given satisfies the spirit of the rules.

[Tork1945]

Apologies for not participating but it was not possible to bring in anything. Either I am not old enough, or not from the USA / Canada or both to understand what is fibs and to realize after that this plane must be the Don McGee biplane of 1915.

At least I learned that there was a Saginaw Daily News written in ink of June 19, 1916 here. The story goes about Saginawians who flew with Don McGee, likely in his second biplane.

Don't worry Tork -- I would think there are few here old enough to remember Fibber McGee and Molly anyway.

Fibs are little lies. One who tells a fib is a fibber. A pretty obscure clue that would go over the heads of most ... but not Dave. Congrats to him.


Cheers
