The links are excellent, especially the second link for several reasons.
If I am permitted some personal derailment, I would point out Rudy Arnold, the photog source, was my favorite photographer from the 1930s into the early 40s in color work as well as B/W. His air to air work with the cameras of the time using a shutter speed that would catch the whole prop disc in motion is why I have told Jeff Hunt his work reminds me of Rudy Arnold's.
Another reason I like the shots of the Fokker (General Aircraft) PJ-1 USCG flying boat (some in color though listed as B/W) is because my third son in law is a career coastie known since very young as "PJ" and still today is "PJ".
A final comment, it appears that there were no Townend ring cowls manufactured for pusher installation as the maintenance close up seem to have their airfoil shape for tractor installation.
