Cicada

Springfield Aircraft Co. L-1 “Cicada.” Designed by Hall for Frank and Josephine Lynch of Summit, NJ for a planned circumnavigation flight. The Cicada competed in the 1932 Niagara Falls Air Races, and was intended to participate in the 32′ Bendix and possibly the Thompson Trophy race but was grounded due to issues with its P&W 985 Wasp Jr. engine.
