Wow Pam - that is a great photo of your uncle. Classic aviator down to the casually capable expression on his face.
Is that a Waco UPF-7 he is holding down? If so it might be the first I've seen with that vented engine cover installed.
It's definitely a round engine and so leads me to wonder if you know anyone who will be modeling one for our favorite simulator anytime soon?
