This study is based on a subset of events of the type {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup -}{gamma}{gamma}, from the {pi}{sup -}p interaction in the 1995 run of E852, A Search for Mesons with Unusual Quantum Numbers at the MPS facility of BNL. The data set is reduced such that it contains events of the type {omega}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +} to be used in the Partial Wave Analysis (PWA) of the system. In the {omega}{pi}{sup {+-}} and the 4{pi} mass spectra, we observe b{sub 1}(1235) and {rho}{sub 3}(1690) signals. In the {pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +} off of the {omega} we see a large contribution due to {rho}(770) followed by a smaller contribution due to f{sub 2}(1270). The b{sub 1}{sup {+-}} production seems to be enhanced for the {omega}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +} mass near 2 GeV, with more b{sub 1}{sup -} produced than b{sub 1}{sup +}. A spin parity analysis of the {omega}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +} system to look for radial excitations and states with exotic quantum numbers is under way.
