Mr. Vincent J. Burnelli,
Burnelli Aircraft Ltd.,
Keyport, New
Jersey.
My dear Mr. Burnelli:
On behalf of the U. S. National Museum
I take much pleasure in acknowledging the receipt of a model,
one-twenty-fourth size, of the Remington-Burnelli airliner of
1:20; the original wind-tunnel
model of the first design to employ an airfoil section
fuselage
containing cargo at the center of gravity,
and propellers installed forward of the leading edge, which
you have recently forwarded for the national aeronautical
collections.
The model is a very desirable addition to our collections
where it has been recorded as a gift in your name.
Please be assured of our appreciation of your interest and
cooperation.
Very truly yours,
J.E. Graf
Associate Director
