History
It first flew in 1945. It was a low-wing, all-metal cantilever monoplane with a fixed tricycle undercarriage, powered by an 85 hp Continental C85, and it seated pilot and passenger side by side under an expansive bubble canopy.
Variants
Alongside the 10A there was a proposed 10D, a development with a retractable undercarriage and a 125 hp engine.
Where you'll see it
Because of the glut of military surplus aircraft on the civil market after the war, All American could not attract buyers and no production followed. About four were built.
