Hurlburt Hurricane / Camburn Special

The Hurlburt Hurricane NX1223 of 1947 was designed and built by Marge Hurlburt, Anna Logan, and Duke Caldwell as midget racer #85.

Powered by an 85hp Continental C-85, the Hurricane was barred from Goodyear competition because the event was restricted to male pilots.

1947

Owned by Anna Logan and Mildred Caldwell of Cleveland, Eugene ‘Joe’ Smith flew the Hurricane in 1947.

The craft was later named the Camburn Special after Marge’s death. Eventually it was flown as Camburn Special in some competitions by Eugene “Joe” Smith.
