The co-pilot is listed is Louis Waddell but I have documentation that it was Donald W. Waddell. Is there any chance at all there is a photo of this airplane? The family rumor is that it was called Little Audrey and was painted as such. Audrey was my grandmother, she would have been a little girl and Donald was her uncle.
