Heinrich Pursuit

The Heinrich Pursuit (Victor Scout) was an American fighter prototype of the 1910s.

Aerodynamically clean, the Pursuit was a single-bay, unequal-span biplane, powered by a 100 hp Gnome engine.

However, at the time US Air Force policy was to forego fighters of national design in favour of more tested foreign types.

These were powered by a more reliable 80 hp Le Rhône engine, and had a strengthened cabane and paired struts.

These aircraft, called the Pursuit Mk II were delivered in early 1918 but no further development followed.
