Wittemann-Lewis

[1] The first aircraft built was a Wright pusher biplane in 1907, unusual for the time it had a swivelling tail wheel.

[1] A series of Wright pusher triplanes were built between 1908 and 1914 for a number of notable aviators.

[1] During 1918 the factory was used to build the twin-engined Sundstedt-Hannevig Seaplane for an attempt by Captain Sundstedt on the Daily Mail £10,000 prize for the first transatlantic crossing.

[1][4] In 1921 the company was contracted to build two NBL-1 Barling Bombers for the Engineering Division of the United States Army.

[1] The NBL-1 was a large six-engined triplane bomber which was shipped by train and assembled at Wright Field.
