Cessna Remove Before Flight Tags

In 1917 Victor Roos was a distributor of Harley Davidson pedal cycles in Omaha, Nebraska, becoming one of the largest distributors in the Midwest.


10 years later, in September 1927, Travel Air founder Clyde Cessna split from Walter Beech forming Cessna-Roos aircraft. Roos became the second largest shareholder in the start-up venture that went on to produce the most popular general aviation aircraft in the world. Roos resigned just one month into the partnership, selling back his interest to Cessna, and the company changed its name to Cessna Aircraft in December 1927.
