Pilots and businessmen liked the Type 6000 but wanted an airplane with a larger cabin and a more powerful engine. In late 1928,
the company answered with the Type 6000B (the unit shown here was operated by the Johnson Flying Service based in Montana).
Another version, the Type A6000A, was powered by a Pratt & Whitney radial engine developing 420-450 horsepower.
A Type 6000B served as
the official airplane of the
1929 National Air Races
held in September in
Cleveland, Ohio. Note the
small oil cooler radiator
mounted beneath the
boot cowling.
