| GrahamClayton, e-mail, 23.12.2024 12:41 The designation VCP-1 stood for Verville-Clark-Pursuit. The VCP-1 was powered by a 300 hp Wright-Hispano "H” engine. Advanced features for its time included a laminated wood veneer fuselage and I-type interplane struts, and the first of the two VCP-1 prototypes was completed and flown in August 1919, initially with an annular radiator and large spinner. A more conventional radiator and spinner combination was subsequently adopted, and the sole VCP-1 completed was eventually fitted with a 660 hp Packard 1A-2025 12-cylinder engine to participate in the 1920 Pulitzer Prize Race as the VCP-R. Further modifications were incorporated for the 1922 Pulitzer Prize Race and the designation changed to R-1. reply | | Joyce Stevens, e-mail, 31.01.2011 04:09 Alfred Verville came from the u.p.
