The catalogue features both the Straight-Wing, and Tapered-Wing versions of Waco's "225" open cockpit bi-plane, so designated because it's powered by the Wright J-6 7-cylinder, 225 HP "Whirlwind" motor.The company began business as Weaver Aircraft Company of Ohio in 1920 but changed its name to the Waco Aircraft Company in 1928/29.
