Links Also included is a picture that is a nice view of the Bulldog on what looks like a grass field either during take
off or landing. It’s not a real clear image, but it really gives a great view of how the air racers of the 1930s
were all about big engines and small airframes.

Speaking of engines, we have found an engine for our Bulldog!! Everybody involved is very excited as the

Pratt & Whitney R-1340 Wasp we found is the same type of engine used in the original Bulldog. We’ll have a
new post up soon with pictures of the motor and more about the power behind the Bulldog.

The rest of the new images can be found under the ‘photos’ tab here.
