Brigadier General "Billy" Mitchell, Assistant-Chief of the Air Service, photographed by a Lewis & Vought VE-7 advanced trainer at the Bolling Field Air Tournament , May 14 - 16, 1920. Only small numbers of the VE-7 were produced, as the demand for this type of aircraft was met by converting Curtiss JN-4s to Hispano-powered JN-4Hs.
