The American company Lewis &
Vought of Long Island, New York,
designed and flew in the summer of
1918 the Lewis & Vought VE-7
biplane trainer that had tandem open
cockpits and was powered by the
112kW Wright-Hispano
engine. Although the type was tested
satisfactorily, no immediate production
followed, but soon after World War I
the US Navy procured a total of 128
in several variants built by Vought
and the Naval Aircraft Factory (NAF).
These had the 134kW Wright-
Hispano E-2 engine, and were followed
by the improved VE-9 of which 42
were built for the US Army (25) and US
Navy (21).
