Brief Aircraft History
Built by Thomas-Morse Aircraft in Ithaca, New York in 1917, it was a compact single-seat open-cockpit biplane of equal span and a 100hp Gnome rotary engine. The S-4 made its maiden flight in June 1917 in the hands of Paul D. Wilson. Twelve planes went to the Navy.
Nicknamed the “Tommy", the Thomas Morse Scout S4C was the standard single-seat advanced-trainer used by the US Air Service during World War I. The S-4 flew at practically every pursuit flying school in the United States during 1918 and was the first plane built specifically for this purpose.
Most foreign governments used obsolete or war-weary airplanes for training, but since the Unites States had no pursuit aircraft of its own, it had to build advanced-trainers from scratch.
