That was interesting Jim. I had never heard of Bach Aircraft. There are many things about early aeroplanes I had not known until recently and I still don’t know and probably never likely to. I never had time for research earlier on nor had the internet existed.
So I’ve gone to the internet and found Bach not only made a trimotor but also a four engine 28 seater aeroplane. The Trimotor was introduced by Anthony Fokker who manufactured, in New Jersey, the aeroplanes that Lindberg made his famous Atlantic crossing and Kingsford-Smith made his famous but less known (except Australia) Pacific crossing followed by a global circumnavigation. Fokker’s contribution to aviation was considerable and resulted in the well known and popular North American Mustang or P51. Maybe I should do a story on that but in the interim here below is a couple of drawings of Bach aeroplanes. The four engine one is quite peculiar in so far as it had the two central engines mounted vertically.
