LC-DW Super Solution History:

The Laird "Super Solution" was designed and built for the Cleveland Speed Foundation. It was not an entirely new design as E. M. "Mattie" Laird's racers had made a fine showing at the 1930 Chicago National Air Races. This included Speed Holman winning the Thompson race in a Wasp Jr. powered Laird "Solution", and two other Laird Speedwings, Cirrus and Chevelair powered respectively.

Work began on the Super Solution LC-DW500 the 8th day of July, 1931 and was test flown on the 22nd of August, 1931. The test flight was made by "Mattie" Laird at Fishborn Field in Chicago, near the Laird Factory. Laird said that very few changes or adjustments were needed before the ship was turned over to Jimmy Doolittle. Visible changes were smaller horizontal stabilizers and elevators and the wing strut fairings. Normal struts appeared on the ship during the test (see photos) with "I" struts being added later.
