The little-known OTW (Out To Win) was a quite conventional biplane designed by the Meyers Aircraft Co. in the mid-1930s. Its main aim was to serve as an affordable trainer for the Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP) which began in 1938. About a hundred were built in two main versions: 145hp Warner Super Scarab-powered OTW-145 and the 160hp Kinner R-5-powered OTW-160.

A smashing Civil Air Patrol student “al sole” at the Silver Lake airfield, Baker (California), 1944. A Winner, that’s for sure.

This photo would have raised a few eyebrows during the day (1930’s). The skirt was pretty short by the standards of the day . By todays standards ….. she still looks good. ;)
