Adcox Cloud Buster / A-100 / Cloud Buster Junior / Bidwell Cloud Buster

The 1931 Adcox Cloud Buster was a two place, enclosed monoplane, powered by a 40hp Salmson AD-9.

Only one was built, as a student project and registered NC10644.

The craft was repowered in 1936 with 65hp LeBlond.

This appears in some regs as a product of Bidwell-Yale Aviation Co. As the Adcox A-100, it was sold to Groat Aeronautical, who sold it to Shirley P Yale Air Service, who in turn sold it to William B Bidwell on 20 Agust 1931, at which time it was called Cloud Buster Junior. It then went through several other owners before being scrapped in 1938.
