Sent Niagara air museum enquiry 2 March 2021 who responded next day, though it sat in spam box until 22 March. Their comments are in Hobbies/aircraft. No new info but they suggested Argonaut Pirate connection. That was built in Tonawanda, only about 15 km away. The Pirate completed initial tests at the Consolidated airfield in Buffalo.[https://archive.org/details/aerodigest2719unse/page/58/mode/1up] CF conversation in Hobbies/aircraft |

But was this built & flown? There were twin engine conversionS from Stinson As but these were not the same as the Stinson B which had a shorter span.
Complicated history - but flown? Prob not.
JAWA38 Don't think either flew.
