| - The Lowe, Willard & Fowler Engineering Company was a College Point, New York City based manufacturer of airplanes founded in December 1915 named for its founders, Edward Lowe Jr., Charles F. Willard, and Robert G. Fowler, Willard had been previously employed by the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company and Aeromarine and had developed a technique for molding laminated wood to form a monocoque fuselage while Fowler had been the first person to fly west-to-east across the United States. Lowe arranged the majority of the financing, while Fowler recruited Willard. Fowler and Willard departed the company shortly afterwards in 1916 and Lowe renamed the firm the L-W-F Engineering Company." After their departure from the company, the companies initials were repurposed to refer either to either Laminated Wood Fuselage or Linen, Wire and Fabric. The company was reorganized after Lowe was forced out by company backers in 1917. Aside from its own designs, of which only the model V and its derivatives, and the J-2 (a US Dehavilland DH-4 modified into a twin engine aircraft) saw series production, LWF built the Curtiss HS-2L, Martin NBS-1 and Douglas DT-2 under licence, and they modified 63 US Dehavilland DH-4As into DH-4Bs. Following the reduction or cancellation of orders following the end of World War I and the failure of its post-war designs to win orders, the company declared bankruptcy in 1924. (en)
- La Lowe, Willard & Fowler Engineering Company était un fabricant d'avions basé à College Point, New York, fondé en décembre 1915 du nom de ses fondateurs, Edward Lowe Jr., Charles F. Willard et Robert G. Fowler. Willard avait auparavant été employé par la Curtiss Airplane and Motor Company et Aeromarine et avait développé une technique de moulage de bois contreplaqué pour former des fuselages monocoque tandis que Fowler avait été la première personne à voler d'ouest en est à travers les États-Unis. Lowe a organisé la majorité du financement, tandis que Fowler a recruté Willard. Fowler et Willard ont quitté l'entreprise peu de temps après en 1916 et Lowe a renommé la société L-W-F Engineering Company. Après leur départ de l'entreprise, les initiales de l'entreprise ont été réutilisées pour désigner soit le fuselage en bois laminé (Laminated Wood Fuselage), soit le lin, le fil et le tissu (Linen, Wire and Fabric). L'entreprise a été réorganisée après que Lowe ait été expulsé par des bailleurs de fonds de l'entreprise en 1917. Outre ses propres conceptions, dont seuls le LWF model V et ses dérivés, et le J-2 (un Dehavilland DH-4 américain modifié en avion bimoteur) ont vu la production en série, LWF a construit le Curtiss HS-2L, Martin NBS-1 et le Douglas DT-2 sous licence, et ils ont modifié 63 US Dehavilland DH-4A en DH-4B. Suite à la réduction ou à l'annulation des commandes après la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale et à l'échec de ses projets d'après-guerre à remporter des commandes, la société a déclaré faillite en 1924.
