Notes:

[1400 PIX] Great History: In 1928, The New Standard Aircraft Company was established in Paterson, New Jersey by famed barnstormer Ivan Gates of the Gates Flying Circus and well known aircraft designer Charles Day. The purpose of the joint venture was to design, build and market a biplane that could take aloft 4 paying passengers instead of the usual 1 or 2. The D-25 was born out of this need and was certificated by the Aeronautics Department (now FAA) in 1928. Unfortunately, the days of the flying circus were numbered and most of the New Standards manufactured became booze smugglers during prohibition and ultimately crop dusters where most of them met their fate. Because of this hard life, there are only a handful that remain out of 62 originally built, and only 5 examples are currently flying today.
