Travel Air 12Q/W, G-AAOK – a fine aircraft, just built at the wrong time from Shortfinals's Blog | You would think that an aircraft company founded by Clyde Cessna (1879 – 1954), Lloyd Stearman (1898 – 1975) and Walter Beech (1891 – 1950) – all later to become giants of the aviation world – could not fail.

Despite some success in the air racing world and a few sales to private owners, the company failed in 1929 and the rights to the Travel Air designs were taken over by the Curtiss-Wright Aircraft Corporation Inc…
An aviation legacy - EAA Biplane, G-AVZW by shortfinals …The EAA has, over the years, issued a series of plans for aircraft of their own design, one of which was the EAA Biplane. Paul Proberezny asked Jim Stewart of the Allison Engine Company to lead a team of engineers in the design of the EAA Biplane, an aircraft which turned out to be rated at +6g/-6g and capable of taking a range of engines anywhere from 85 to 150 hp. The aircraft was unusual in that despite having enough power to have two seats fitted, it was always intended to be a single-seater; this restricted the potential market, somewhat. Never the less, over 130 sets of plans were sold (at $20 a set), and at least 88 aircraft were completed and flown in the USA…
