Регистрационный номер: G-CYZH The relatively few aircraft being operated by the Canadian Government in the 1920s used civil registrations in the G-Cxxx range. This Keystone Puffer, G-CYZH was one of two examples, the other being ZI. Such aircraft carried roundels but only the last two letters of the registration on the rear fuselage. The system changed when RCAF aircraft were given serial numbers.
The Puffer, illustrated here, seems to have been ignored by the encyclopaedias. The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Aircraft had begun to lose momentum by the time the letter K was reached and Keystone only gets a resume of its aircraft other than the twin-engined bomber series which has a separate entry. The Puffer is not mentioned and it does not appear in Janes Encyclopaedia of Aviation.
Time for another Putnam?
