Designed by Etienne Dormoy and brought from France to the USA by Maximilian Schmid, this fully monocoque fuselage design was first of its kind in USA. Built for competitions, it won the $1,000 NY Times Race on 4 July 1914 at Governor’s Island NY (piloted by Harold Kantner), as well as several more subsequent races.
It was then converted into a biplane with a 100hp LeRhône for military trials at North Island, San Diego. It and three other entrants were rejected for not meeting certain requirements specified by the Army.
