Metal Aircraft Corporation
Metal Aircraft Corporation was an American aircraft manufacturer of transport aircraft.
The Metal Aircraft Corporation was formed as a restructuring of the T.E. Halpin Development Co. in 1928. Halpin was a former employee of William Bushnell Stout's firm at a time when all-metal construction was at its infancy. The Metal Aircraft Corporation continued production of the Halpin Flamingo transport at its factory at the Lunken airport with several variations. The company was sold to Robert Schryver, of Columbus, Ohio in September 1929.
Flamingo's formed the basis for new startup airlines of the time, including Embry-Riddle, US Airways, and Mason & Dixon Air Lines.Aircraft
