Built by the Illinois Aero Construction Company and designed as an automatically stable machine by William E. (Billy) Somerville.
The 1910 Somerville-Borel was mentioned in the 27 September 1913 Aero and Hydro as a 50hp Gnôme-powered monoplane being flown at Rensselaer IN. Advertised as “automatically stable,” it might have been a copy, rather than a rebuild as thought, of the Morane-Borel.
