Model Name: Lillie-Vought BiPlane
 Max Lillie founded the Lillie Flying School at Cicero Field, Chicago. He passed a very superior brevettte test to receive the first Expert Aviator certificate from the Aero Club of America.
Max Lillie, who also taught Vought to fly, needed an airplane better than a Wright pusher for exhibition flights at county fairs. Vought designed a tractor biplane to Lillie's requirement, which featured a 50-hp Gnome engine. The airplane's main feature was its staggered biplane wing. Its first flight was in 1913. Only one of these airplanes was built.
