Montee Aircraft Company

Formed by Kenneth W. Montee at Santa Monica, California, in early 1920s. Montee designed four-seat open cockpit monoplane, with Hall-Scott L-4 engine, in which he won second prize in “On to New York” race at 1925 National Air Races; he died in December 1926 while engaged on a mapping operation.
