Bowlus 1-S-2100 Senior Albatross "Falcon", 1933

Monoplane glider with strut-braced, gull-type wing mounted high on monocoque fuselage; wooden construction with steel and aluminum fittings and controls; fuselage and wing leading edge covered with mahogany plywood. In 1933, du Pont teamed with Hawley Bowlus and the two men set up shop in San Fernando, California, to build gliders. Their most successful competition sailplane was the Senior Albatross. The Bowlus shop built four and Warren Eaton bought the third in May 1934. He named the sailplane " Falcon" and flew it often including over the Blue Ridge Mountains from an airfield at Big Meadows, VA, in 1934
