Rawdon burnham RF advanced military trainer

[fortrena]

Would anyone have information on the armed advanced military training version of the Travel Air Type R "Mystery Ship" designed no later than the fall of 1931 by Herbert M. “Herb” Rawdon with the help of his assistant, Walter E. Burnham? That machine might have known as the Rawdon-Burnham RF.

Apologies for the typo in the title, i.e. burnham rather than Burnham.

Nice find my dear Fortrena,

and this Info from Wikipedia,

A fifth Type R, 11717/MM185, was built at the request of the Italian government several years after the rest, after Hawks toured the European continent. After factory construction and testing, it was subsequently disassembled, shipped by boat to Italy and served as the basis for the Breda Ba.27 fighter.[citation needed] It was later scrapped. The last Type R was built by Travel Air after it had been absorbed by Curtiss-Wright.
