History
editThe company was formed in 1928 at Rochester, New York. [1] It was a combination of Randolph F. Hall, as vice president, some former employees of Thomas-Morse Aircraft Corporation and James Cunningham, Son and Company who manufactured motor cars.[2] Francis E. Cunningham was President. [3]The company built five different aircraft designs, most were only built in single numbers or no more than prototypes. The last design appeared in 1937 and the company concentrated on sub-contract component production before it was dissolved in 1948.
