Airplane builders circa 1930s. English was a mechanic, and Wood & English were planning to build commercially, even designed their own 60hp engine.

The first crashed in testing, the second was successful and sold to a Biloxi man, reportedly, it was being flown in 1933.

Their third plane, of 1935, was a two place open cockpit monoplane, registered NC11583, and powered by a 65hp LeBlond

Wolverine Aeronautic Co

The Wolverine Aeronautic Co, Albion MI., USA circa 1911 was a supplier of home-builders’ kits and materials. They featured two open cockpit biplane models with 25hp (span: 26’0″) and 30hp (span: 30’0″), powered by Wolverine’s own-brand motor.

One machine was reported by Aeronautics to have been built for the Chinese revolutionary party, representatives of which watched it in demonstration at Hempstead, but that “apparently the idea of using aeroplanes was given up at the time.”
