He is currently engaged on a redesign of the Fokker D.VII monoplane of 1918 in association with Herr Rheinhold Platz, the original designer, with a view to starting a replica building program.A full-scale Fokker Triplane replica of this period has been under construction by Mr. Bowers for nearly five years. At least six others are known to be under construction from plans that he has provided.<p>Another aircraft built by Mr. Bowers is a full-scale replica of the Wright Model EX of 1911, the first aeroplane to cross the American continent. This machine was tested as a towed sailplane in the Autumn of 1961 and is to be powered by a converted "B" Ford automobile engine from a 1938 Funk monoplane.<p>In addition to this work on replicas, Mr. Bowers has designed and built a single-seat light aircraft known as the Fly Baby...</blockquote>".
