The firm also developed its own flying boat transport glider for the US Navy, the LRA, which was built in small number for testing, but the larger LR2A was not proceeded with. Allied Aviation acquired the rights to Gilbert Trimmers 'Trimcraft' small amphibious aircraft as the Trimmer, production of prototype Trimmers was taken up by Commonwealth Aircraft Co. as the Commonwealth C-170 Trimmer^[1]. Following the war, the company changed direction to focus on sailboat manufacture.
