The Adcox A-100, also known as the Adcox Cloud Buster was a two-seat enclosed sporting biplane built by the students of the US Adcox Aviation Trade School, Portland, Oregon , Oregon in 1931. Identified in some publications as Adcox Cloud Buster or Bidwell Cloud Buster Junior,[1][2] it was originally powered by a Salmson AD-9 engine of 40 hp (30 kW), however in 1936 it was repowered with a more powerful, but heavier, 65 hp LeBlond 60-5D and later dismantled in 1938 after several other owners.[3][4]
It was sold successively to Groat Aeronautical, Yale Air Service and on 20 August 1931 to William B Bidwell as the Cloud Buster Junior. The Bidwell-Yale Aviation Co was based at Gardiner Airport, Gardiner, Montana.[5]
