The Stewart M-1 Monoplane was the first of two aircraft designed and built by the W.F. Stewart Company, as their usual work of building custom wooden auto bodies was falling out of favor at that time. [1]
The M-1 was a conventional landing gear equipped, all-wooden construction, mid-winged monoplane with two tandem open cockpits, each of which had side-by-side seating for a total of four people. It was powered by a 90 hp (67 kW) Curtiss OX-5 engine. The wing spar was made of spruce with mahogany veneer. [2]
The prototype was test flown from 1928 to 1929. Production was canceled with the onset of the Great Depression. One owner operated the aircraft from Flint, Michigan until 1934. [3] The prototype was dismantled in 1937. [4]

The Welch OW-5M were a family of American two-seat light cabin monoplanes designed by Orin Welch based on his first cabin monoplane design, the ACA Falcon. Welch's goal was to design cheap and functional light aircraft. The aircraft is a strut-braced high-wing monoplane with an enclosed cabin with side-by-side seats for two. It is similar in appearance to the Aeronca C-3, save for the wing struts. It had a steerable tailwheel landing gear and a nose-mounted engine. The fuselage was constructed with fabric covered welded steel tubing with a triangular cross section. The controls were mounted overhead with an adjustable control wheel that could be positioned for either pilot. Welch developed their own low-pressure wheels and tires for suspension.
