The Metal Aircraft Corporation was formed as a restructuring of the T.E. Halpin Development Co. in 1928.[1] 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.[2] The company was sold to Robert Schryver, of Columbus, Ohio in September 1929.[3]

Flamingo's formed the basis for new startup airlines of the time, including Embry-Riddle, US Airways, and Mason & Dixon Air Lines.[4]

gollark: Ferroboron can't be made in an induction smelter, oddly.
gollark: I don't want tiny compact-machine-fitting things (well, I kind of do, but separate to giant, awe-inspiring ones incorporating fusion plasma injectors of death, hopefully), I want giant ones requiring huge amounts of infrastructure to support it, with cool visual effects, massive (actually fitting, you know, a *fusion* reactor) power output (ideally via steam turbines), that sort of thing.
gollark: Also, I hope the new fusion reactors take inspiration from ReactorCraft.
gollark: The mekanism ones are a bit crazy. If you want oxygen, feeding the separator RF from its own hydrogen run through a gas-burning generator, *it works fine*.
gollark: Even when I had about 8 upgraded ones.
