International Aircraft Corporation was an American 1920s aircraft manufacturer located in Ancor near Newtown, Ohio .
History [ edit ]
Foundation in California [ edit ]
The Catron and Fisk Company was founded in California in 1909 by Edwin M. Fisk and J.W. Catron.[8] [9] In February 1927, the company was reorganized as the International Aircraft Corporation .[10] However, the corporation was forced to move after its factory in Long Beach was unable to keep up with demand.[11] At the time of its move, the company had 80 airplanes on order, but could only build six a week.[12] The vacated factory building would later be leased by the Courier Aircraft Company.[13]
Move to Ohio [ edit ]
In 1927, the company was purchased by a group of Cincinnatians, and moved to a former federal government nitrate plant near Newtown, Ohio .[14] [15] [9] Production commenced even before the factory was formally dedicated on 12 May 1928, with the first airplane rolling out on April 7.[16] [1] [17] [18] [19] Later in May, construction was started on a new steel hangar at the site.[20] In August, the company delivered newly completed aircraft by train for the first time.[21] [22] The company entered two airplanes in the 1928 National Air Tour .[23] [24] By October, it had contracted with the newly created Dawson Aircraft Corporation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the latter to act as a distributor.[25] However, the company rejected a follow-up offer by the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce to move the factory there.[26] By that point aircraft production had ended.[27] A plan proposed in December called for the company to be reorganized as a Delaware corporation owned by a group of investors led by C. B. Morganthaler.[28] [29] [30]
Move to Michigan [ edit ]
The company was purchased by interests in Jackson, Michigan in May 1929.[31] [32] [33] Land was purchased at Reynolds Field and plans were announced for a new 22-passenger trimotor airliner in addition to the company's existing aircraft.[34] However, operations in Cincinnati were resumed in June and planned to continue until the new plant in Michigan was completed.[35]
Following the sale, president Clarence E. Ogden carried out a series of lawsuits concerning the naming of a company receiver and disposition of various company airplanes.[36] [37] [38] [39]
To promote their new company, a women's air endurance record attempt was suggested.[40] To this end, participation from famous aviatrixes Louise Thaden and Blanche Noyes was solicited.[41]
