A great story. Thanks.

...and now for something completely different.

This company had a factory in the same town that Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr went to school as teenagers (not at the same time)
First flight was the year of the big crash
Whiskey runner, eh

New Standard D-25?

Although mostly civilian, I think it was used for naval patrol or Coastguard.

Yes, the Coast Guard confiscated and used two of these that were running Canadian whiskey during Prohibition. Probably a bit of a stretch for a military aircraft, but you got it.

I guess I'm "It".

Rolls Royce piston engine powered.
Capable of long range flights.
Saw service with two countries.
Existed in both conventional (tail-dragger) and tricycle versions.

This must be a hard one. I can't believe there hasn't been anyone guessing on it. Closest I could come up with is a p39 but it doesnt have a Royce engine and was used by more countries.
