Klein: "This single-seat aircraft was designed as a racer
for the light plane competitions, two were built in 1924. Pictured is
the first example with racing number 8, the second one went to the
USAAS and received serial 26-205 but no designation, and was tested at
McCook Field under Project Number P-443. From this model Driggs later developed the
"Skylark" models."
