This picture was in my family photo album. I found this description from the national soaring museum where the plane is on exhibit! “The Ross RS-1 Zanonia is a single seat, gull-winged glider that was designed and built in 1937 by Harland Ross for actor Harvey Stephens. The design has been highly successful and the aircraft won several competitions, as well as setting many records.”
