A Pietenpol Air Camper on display at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana.  The Air Camper was a parasol wing build-it-yourself aircraft designed by Bernard H. Pietenpol. It was first made available in 1928, and this aircraft on display is one of those sold in 1932.
<p>The Air Camper was built of spruce and plywood. Metal fittings had to be fabricated by the home builder, and some welding was required. The original model used an Ace four cylinder water-cooled engine, but the one on display uses a Model A Ford engine (which was the standard powerplant used later).

This aircraft was constructed by Tom and Ben Helmerichs of Rygate, Montana.
