The Mercury S-1 was designed by Harvey Mummert, Chief Engineer of Mercury Aircraft Corp. located in Hammondsport, NY, in 1931. It was raced in the 1932 Chicago Air Races, placing third in the Free-For-All Edelweiss Trophy Race with a speed of 139.8 mph. Mr. Lawrence Wood restored it in 1980, flown once, and put on long term loan to the museum by the Wood Family. FAA registration expired in 2013.
