Victory Aircraft Engr Co SS-1

Designed by William L Shaffer, the 1928 SS-1 was a three-place, open-cockpit biplane. It was fabric-covered steel-tube fuselage with wood-framed wings.

No production data was found about this short-lived company, who announced they would keep the initial selling price at $2,000, except for a sole registry of NX5626 c/n 1. Some records show the 50hp Hallett H-526 installation replaced by a 90hp Curtiss OX-5 engine. The X license was cancelled on 2 January 1930 and the ID cancelled 2 July 1934.
