Jacuzzi J-7 Reo

07/07/2007. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "This was the first cabin monoplane built in the USA and flew successfully. However, on July 14, 1921, one of the Jacuzzi brothers, Giocondo, was killed when the aircraft crashed due to wing failure near Modesto, while en route from Yosemite to San Francisco, California."
