Monocoupe 110 Special, 1941. Creator: Monocoupe Airplane Co
High-wing, 2-seat, 1940s monoplane. Warner Super Scarab 185, 200hp engine. Red with white trim. Clipped wings. Air show pilot and aerobatic champion W. W. " Woody" Edmondson thrilled audiences with his Monocoupe 110 Special throughout the 1940s. Edmondson, who named the airplane Little Butch for its bulldog-like appearance, placed second to " Bevo" Howard and his Bucker Jungmeister in the 1946 and 47 American Aerobatic Championships, but he won the first International Aerobatic Championship in 1948. The Monocoupe 110 Special was a clipped-wing version of the 110, part of a line that began with Don Luscombes Mono 22 and continued with the 70, 90, and 110 models. The sport coupes of the 1930s, these fast and maneuverable aircraft were ideal for racers Phoebe Omlie and Johnny Livingston. Ken Hyde of Warrenton, Virginia, restored Little Butch prior to its donation to the Smithsonian

This print showcases the Monocoupe 110 Special, a remarkable high-wing, two-seat monoplane from the 1940s. Created by the esteemed Monocoupe Airplane Co, this aircraft boasted a powerful Warner Super Scarab 185 engine with 200hp and featured an eye-catching red color with white trim. With its clipped wings and bulldog-like appearance, it was affectionately named "Little Butch" by its pilot W. W. "Woody". Edmondson. Throughout the 1940s, Woody Edmondson mesmerized audiences at air shows as he skillfully maneuvered his Monocoupe 110 Special in thrilling aerobatic displays. Although he placed second to "Bevo". Howard in the American Aerobatic Championships of both 1946 and 1947, Edmondson emerged victorious in the first International Aerobatic Championship held in 1948.
