KREIDER-REISNER AIRCRAFT COMPANY INC.

USA

Built the Midget in 1926, which did well in that year's National Air Races. In 1927 built the Challenger three-seat open-cockpit biplane using the cheap Curtiss OX-5 (or other) engine. Smaller two-seater also made. In April 1929 company was bought by the Fairchild Airplane Manufacturing Corp and the Kreider-Reisner types were added to the Fairchild series, the Challengers then being known as Fairchild KR biplanes (Challenger C-6 was KR-21; C-4 was KR-34). As a division of Fairchild Aviation Corporation in the mid-1930s Kreider-Reisner built the Fairchild 22 two-seat open-cockpit monoplane and the Fairchild 24 cabin type, also producing the Fairchild 71 amphibian.
