Hurlburt Hurricane / Camburn Special
The Hurlburt Hurricane NX1223 of 1947 was designed and built by Marge Hurlburt, Anna Logan, and Duke Caldwell as midget racer #85.
Powered by an 85hp Continental C-85, the Hurricane was barred from Goodyear competition because the event was restricted to male pilots.
Owned by Anna Logan and Mildred Caldwell of Cleveland, Eugene ‘Joe’ Smith flew the Hurricane in 1947.
The craft was later named the Camburn Special after Marge’s death. Eventually it was flown as Camburn Special in some competitions by Eugene “Joe” Smith.

Contrarily claimed by various sources to have achieved several flights (notably on September 21, 1909 at Lucerne), as well as to have never been flown at all.
