All Aero

G. S. Ireland founded his company to manufacture an aircraft known as the Ireland Comet, which combined surplus-Curtiss Oriole fuselages with new wings and tail unit.
With the closure of the Curtiss Oriole production line, a number of completed fuselages became available and Ireland was able to obtain them. With help from friends in the Curtiss design office new wings were created. These had a deeper rib section, and single bay bracing. Following initial flights in 1925, some 40 of these Comets are thought to have been produced before the fuselages ran out.
