FWDTEXAS Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 It is a replica of a Jeffrey Quad made by vintage Aviation, it did not cross the border but was used to patrol the border along with motercycles with mounted machien guns. I was not used as a WW1 weapon but was used in Irland and India, also to supress riots in Canada after WW 1. It was advertised in tghe Netherlands during WW 1 (I had a sales brochure but cannot find it) Over 240 makes of cars and trucks were used chasing Pancho Villa. 4000 trucks were used and 57 airplanes. lots of trucks were abaqndoned south of the border and some are still there in the desert.
