What vintage aircraft was registered as NC7210? Can anyone help identify this vintage aircraft, origin, and possible flight history. Airplane has this number of its wing, NC 7210.
My step grandfather, Roy Danischefsky, purchased the Ryan B-1 Brougham #157 NC 7210 in Sept 1928 from Mahoney-Ryan Aeronautics for Midwest Airlines (Wisconsin). He flew it for Mid-West as a private charter and to promote flight as a new transportation option. Here is a photo of him in front of the plane.
Also - Here a photo of the plane from San Diego Air and Space Museum Archives

Where is this plane now? I would be VERY EXCITED to know that it is still exists. Many of these planes did not survive.
