In 1936 William Rackett built the Rackett A two-place open cockpit biplane. Powered by a 90hp Curtiss OX-5 engine, it first flew, possibly, on 24 March 1936, registered N15793 c/n 1.
It was sold by Rackett on 7 July 1936 and repurchased by him on 21 October 1936.
The registration was cancelled on 1 November 1937 for unstated reasons.
