The American Eagle A-1 was designed in late 1925 as a training aircraft to replace the World War I biplanes then in use by the Porterfield Flying School.

The prototype A-1 first flew at Richards Field in Kansas City Missouri on 9 April 1926.

[1] Small modifications made to the design in 1927, including ailerons on the lower wings, led to the A-101 designation.

These served successfully with flying schools and private owners for many years and several survived in flying condition and displayed in museums in 2007.
