The aeroplane of Baron Jean de Crawhez de Witte on display at the Eighth Annual Belgian Motor Show, held in Brussels from the 16th through to the 26th of January 1909. He was a member of the very rich Belgian family of that name. He filled his life with hunting in Africa, motor car races (also in Africa and through the Sahara) and everything else rich people were supposed to be doing. As a sportsman he initiated the triplane machine, which of course was actually realized by someone else. As nothing much was heard after the exposition in Brussels it is to be expected that it was not very successful.

A six seat cabin monoplane which had corrugated alclad sheet covering for the fuselage, wing, and tail surfaces, pioneered by Hugo Junkers in Germany.

Established in 1928 at Los Angeles, California, built all metal aircraft to special order. Production included a six seat cabin monoplane, designated Crawford 65, which had corrugated alclad sheet covering for the fuselage, wing, and tail surfaces, pioneered by Hugo Junkers in Germany.
Less than six feet high and only 18 feet long, the Serra S-1 was built by Hugh Crawford and Roger Keeney. The pusher made itd initial trial flights at Los Angeles in 1954. With a wingspan of 20 feet, the 85 hp Continental gave an estimated top speed of 200 mph and cruise of 165 mph.
The Cranwell CLA.4 was for the 1926 Lympne light aircraft trials, as two-seat inverted sesquiplanes, powered by a Pobjoy P. The first aircraft, G-EBPC was started as a CLA.4 but completed as a CLA.4A, powered by a Bristol Cherub III.
The first of two built, G-EBPC, was flown from Cranwell in 1927, and by Comper at the trials but was withdrawn with a damaged landing gear. It was broken up at Heston in 1933.
The second aircraft, G-EBPB, was destroyed in a crash on 4 March 1927.
A group of students, unsatisfied with their flying hours at the Edmonton and Northern Alberta Flying Club, purchased a set of plans to build a Cranwell CLA.4 in 1927. Alf Want assembled the aircraft in his house basement, but then moved it to Blatchford Field for flight trials. It is the third and last aircraft of its kind, and is the oldest surviving airplane originally built in Edmonton.
