I would like to know more about this aircraft. A company called the Lanier Aircraft Co. was located in Alexandria, KY in the 1930s. My father told me the plane was towed to the Blue Ash Airport in Cincinnati, OH and that Jimmy Dolittle's brother test flew it. No other details have been found. I wonder if this is the same aircraft? Only one plane was built as far as I know.

Do you have any comments about this aircraft ?
