Luscombe Phantom - Tail# NC1043 - Random Colour

One of twenty five ever built. This tag is cut from the fuselage of a Luscombe Phantom, registration NC1043, and it is among the rarest airframes PlaneTags has ever worked with.

The aircraft

Between the two world wars, aviation changed shape. Wood and fabric biplanes gave way to fast all metal monoplanes, records fell year after year, and men and women raced each other across continents. That period is remembered as the Golden Age of Flight.

Donald A. Luscombe wanted to build a light aircraft entirely from metal, and the Phantom was the result. First flown in 1934 and produced until 1937, it seated two side by side in a cabin built around a stressed skin Duralumin fuselage, powered by a 145 horsepower Warner Super Scarab seven cylinder radial. Components were made by subcontractors and assembled at Luscombe's works in West Trenton, New Jersey.

Twenty five were completed. That is the entire production run.
