Thaden Metal Aircraft Company

The Thaden Metal Aircraft Company was an American aircraft manufacturer based in San Francisco, California in the late 1920s.[1]

History

The company was founded by Herbert von Thaden in 1928 to design and build a series of all-metal cabin monoplanes.

In 1929 the company was renamed the Pittsburgh Metal Airplane Company when it was bought by the Pittsburgh Aviation Industries Corporation for $100,000. The company failed to break into the commercial market and collapsed, PAIC sold the company to the General Aviation Corporation in 1930 and it was renamed the Metalair Corporation.[2]

gollark: Possibly. Try it. Or don't try it. Or maybe try it.
