Smith, H. June-Bug Aerial Flivver
The 1922 H J Smith built June-Bug Aerial Flivver was a single-place, open cockpit mid-wing monoplane, described as “a bathtub with a pole sticking out behind it” and wearing a child’s tricycle wheel on its tail. The planned maiden flight in mid-May at the State Fairgrounds (some say Curtiss Northwest Airport) was delayed by a balky 30hp 2-cyl engine and the tailwheel breaking off, and no further account was found.
