Arocoupe 1924 Biplane
The Arocoupe 1924 open cockpit biplane was designed by F R Anderson.
There is strong suspicion that this is really the Aero-Craft Aero-Coupe, suffering from a case of misspelling and a slight date disparity.
Andermat Biplane
A 1916 open cockpit biplane does appear, designated as an Andermat Biplane, flying in a photo that also shows part of the company’s large bomber.
Andermat 1916
The 1916 Andermat project funding was by Gray Taxicab Co of San Francisco. First flown on 16 April 1916, piloted by Roy Francis, it featured double interplane ailerons, twin tails. One prototype constructed for Army bomber evaluation was shipped to San Diego after this test flight, then reportedly ended up at Kelly Field TX, at which point its track vanished, and the military contract for 21 planes went unfilled.
