Thanks to all who responded, especially Hans in Waller, TX... where Malcolm owns a hangar (or his estate does).
Now on to the next bit of the trail: the Fairchild may be, or have been, in Lakeland Florida. It is very obviously no longer in Malcolm's hangar in Waller, Texas. If anyone in the Lakeland area knows of a Fairchild or someone who is into old airplanes who might be aware of it, I'd appreciate any help... off-list, please.
