Johan Visschedijk: "The Morrow Aircraft Corporation was formed by Howard Morrow at San Bernardino, and a new plant was erected on the San Bernardino County Airport. The Company went into operation on April 1, 1941, developing a two-seat training monoplane suitable for use under the Civilian Pilot Training Program. In order to eliminate the use of strategic materials a plastic-bonded plywood construction was used. The prototype, also referred to as Victory Trainer, was completed in the late summer of 1941, however, no production followed.
