Bill Falck was a legendary race pilot best known for his nearly 30-year career flying the Chester Jeep and his Formula One racer named Rivets. These wings are from another design of his, known as the Falck 375 because of the engine displacement. Falck didn’t finish the 375, and it was never flown. He sold the unfinished airplane to a Mr. Thompson in Florida, and then it was acquired by EAA Chapter 474 in Warwick, New York. It came to Oshkosh in 1975 and has been part of the museum collection ever since.
