The Verville Aircraft Company was a Detroit, Michigan based manufacturer of small airplanes and flying boats, which became bankrupt during the Great Depression. Alfred V.

An innovative corporation, it could not survive the difficult financial crisis of the early 1930s.[1] The Verville Aircraft Company was located at 4815 Cabot Street, Detroit, Michigan,[2] occupying the former Rickenbacker plant. Verville Aircraft was organized by Walter Briggs, Sr., president and chairman of Briggs Manufacturing Company.[3] Barney Everett (Everitt) served as the president of the company.[4] The treasurer was S. E. Poole.
