Model plane is Curtiss Eagle biplane, not Spirit of St. Louis

Gary Rose writes:
It is nice to see and own toys from the past.

The model was assembled resembling a Curtiss Eagle trimotor biplane or a Boeing 80, not the Spirit of St Louis. The Spirit of St Louis was custom-built by Ryan Airlines in San Diego, California as a single engine, single-seat monoplane, like the top picture on the box.

The Curtiss Eagle was first built in 1919 (before Charles Lindbergh made his famous flight) as an airliner. The Boeing 80 was introduced in 1928 a year after the famous flight being designed for mail and passenger service for Boeing Air Transport --Gary Rose
