The photo of Loening Amphibian NC136H of Kohler Aviation Corp. The photo is from the late Paul H. Garde, via Charles N. Trask, and we know nothing of the incident and little of the aircraft or the operator. Kohler operated out of Milwaukee to Detroit and Cleveland from the late 1920s'to the early 1930s. This aircraft carried the fleet (or route?) number 2 on the rudder and the route is noted on the fuselage as Milwaukee - Muskegon - Grand Rapids - Lansing - Detroit. Any further details will be gratefully received.
The Kohler Aviation Corporation's Loening C-2H amphibian pictured last time with fleet no.2 must be NC138H c/n 235 (not NC136H as it at first appeared on the print). The company operated six of the type and one pilot, Joseph Doerflinger, described this incident (in AAHS Journal, Spring 1968) as a forced landing with a dead motor near Williamstone, Michigan in the late winter of 1933. Doerflinger and the one passenger were uninjured, co-pilot Craycraft had a minor injury. The aircraft was repaired but the company, which had a good safety record, did not publicise the incident.
