In 1909, Bruno Schmidt, a resident of West Hoboken, New Jersey, designed a certain aircraft. In 1910, he aquired capital and organized the U.S. Aerial Navigation Company of Homestead, New Jersey. During 1910 and 1911 this aircraft was built in a shop adjacent to Minneola Field, New Jersey. The design was basicly sound and the plane performed well beyond expectations. In January of 1912 a U.S. Patent was granted on the Aeroplane, Serial No. 596448.
Any info is welcome.
Mass. My first ride was in a Sparton about 1930. John Polando was a personal friend. I would like to know more about John Polando's last years. The one time I visited him in Lynn, Mass he owned a liquor import store.
