Stinson Model M

The Stinson Model M was a one-off, all-metal executive transport built by the Stinson Aircraft Company in 1932. Aerofiles describes it as a five-seat low-wing cabin monoplane with a 300 horsepower Wright J-6 engine and full-panted landing gear, registered NR12123 with construction number 32000, while the American Aviation Historical Society production notes list a 300 horsepower Wright R760 and say it was operated briefly by W. D. Gann of Scientific Service, Inc., in New York City. It never entered production. Aerofiles adds that it was repowered with a 400 horsepower Wright engine and named Silver Star for competition in the 1934 Nationals, but did not run.
