About the Plane Feature Timeline
This page presents the information in Patrick Leach's Plane Type Study in a different format. Instead of indicating changes in plane features from type to type, the timeline profiles the history of a each plane feature. (That actually makes it a typeline not a timeline, but that's a minor point.)
As an example consider a segment of the timeline given below which covers tote and knob composition:
Plane Type
Plane Feature
11111111112
------------------------------------------------------ 12345678901234567890
tote and knob - Rosewood 1234567890123456x 9
- hardwood - stained red or painted black 7
- painted black 89
- light color stain 0
Note that one Plane Type column entry contains an "x", indicating that some planes of this type have been found which include the feature. For example, the timeline shows that some Type 17 planes did have Rosewood handles.
The complete Plane Feature Timeline is given in the next section. Using it you can determine when most plane features were introduced and eliminated. If you already know your plane's type, you may be more interested in the Feature Timeline by Type section further down.

Feature Timeline by Type
In the following sections, the complete Plane Feature Timeline has been condensed to only indicate features present in a given type. This format may be useful if you're trying to make sense of a plane which is a hybrid of two types. Or once you date your plane using the Plane Dating Flowchart or Patrick Leach's Plane Type Study, you can use items from this section to verify your determination.
Type 1.
Planes made in Boston, MA from 1867-1869.
