All American Aircraft, Inc., originally specialized in subcontract work but eventually designed and built the two-place Ensign. The plane subsequently took to the air for the first time in 1945. The original plans called for engines ranging from 85 to 125 hp. Seating was side-by-side fashion under an unusually large, blown plexiglass canopy on the prototype. Full dual controls were optional. The Ensign was of all-metal construction with a semi-monocoque fuselage with low wings and fixed landing gear.
