Alfred V. Verville
Alfred V. Verville (1890-1970), an innovative designer, made numerous
contributions to civilian and military aviation during his 47 years
in the aerospace industry. Among his most significant contributions
were the design and development of a cantilever monoplane with retractable
landing gear, the Verville-Sperry R-3, and a series of commercial
cabin airplanes. Verville began his aviation career in 1914 with
Glenn Curtiss and helped design the Curtiss Jenny and Curtiss twin
engine seaplane. Verville's commendations include his selection
as a fellow of the Smithsonian's National Air Museum in 1962.
