The McCarthy Air Scout was described in the March31,1927 issue of Flight magazine as an "American two-seater enclosed light plane." The first and apparently only product of the McCarthy Aeronautical Engineering Company of Detroit, Michigan, it was first test flown in January, 1925. Power was a 45-horsepower Anzani, and the aircraft was claimed to have a top speed of 120mph at a gross weight of 1020 pounds. Flown Continuously during the fall and winter of 1925-26, it was said to be strongly constructed, safe to fly, and especially suited for advertising and private flying. With its clean lines and six-cylinder engine it makes a charming Peanut Scale subject for modelers looking for

a rarity from the Golden Age of aviation.
