G Elias & Brother was an American designer and manufacturer of small aircraft based in Buffalo, New York in the 1920's. G. Elias & Brothers, Inc. established in 1881 in Buffalo, NY as a cabinet making timber concern (later in 1919 created an aircraft department and then renamed it the Elias Aircraft & Manufacturing Corporation) with its first design, an experimental Army training airplane appearing in 1921.
From 1920 to 1925, Elias designed the Elias EM-2 Expeditionary planes. It designed the NBS-3 bomber fuselage and the Elias M-1 Mail plane. Dunlap's Elias TA-1 design was the first United States Army Air Corps Trainer to have a radial engine. After tests a McCook Field, the Army Air Corps selected other manufacturers over the Elias bomber and trainer. The company designed the Elias EM-1 to meet requirements for a multirole amphibian marine expeditionary aircraft. Elias delivered six production Elias EM-2 aircraft with Liberty engines to the United States Navy in 1922.
