Guttman (2018) has a lot about Albree and his aircraft, some of which were sold to the U.S. military:[1]
- George Norman Albree, was born in Boston, Mass., on February 3, 1888, graduated from Amherst College in 1911 and embarked on a career as an aeronautical engineer. The manufacturer that brought his conception to reality was the Pigeon Hollow Spar Company of East Boston, [which had been] founded in 1830 as the Henry Pigeon Mast and Spar Company [and] renamed in 1900. [The] firm had built automobiles and gondolas for airships before venturing into heavier-than-air flight in 1916 with a monoplane designed by Roscoe P. Timson and powered by a 50-hp Gnôme rotary engine.
Albree seems to have co-founded a company named the Albree–Timson Company from 1911- 1915 then as the Pigeon Hollow Spar Company from 1915-1918.[2]
