From their research they produced a 206-page report, which was published as a U.S. Army Air Service Information Circular. General Mitchell asked Verville to incorporate some of the European developments they had observed and to produce a plane for the U.S. Army Air Service's participation in the upcoming 1922 National Air Races. 810: 2757: 529: 1228: 743: 820: 830: 789: 358:, Verville went to Curtiss, who responded: "No, Mr. Verville you don't want to be a pilot.
