The International F-18 Air Coach was a 1920s American biplane transport designed and manufactured by the International Aircraft Corporation in Long Beach California. The company moved in 1928 to Cincinnati, Ohio, where no additional F-18's were produced. The F-18 had a cabin for four passengers and an open cockpit with side-by-side seating for a pilot and passenger. Only six F-18's were built by the company, one of which participated in the Dole Air race (named Miss Hollydale). The company rights were sold in 1931.
