Download or read book Flying with the Schweizers written by William Schweizer and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2019-06 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Schweizer Aircraft is the story of the American dream-a family with a passion for aviation doing what they loved to do. In doing so, they lived their dream and built a company that produced over six thousand aircraft, including a wide variety of aviation products from sailplanes to airplanes to helicopters to military surveillance aircraft to unmanned vehicles. From the launch of the Schweizer brothers' first glider in 1930, to the formation of Schweizer Aircraft Corp. in 1941, making gliders for the war effort, becoming a subcontractor with Grumman Aircraft, and the transition of ownership to the family's second generation, this book shares a full account of the company. It concludes with the company's eventual sale to Sikorsky in 2004-and Sikorsky's mismanagement of Schweizer-which led to its closing in 2012. This account pays tribute to people with a passion for aviation who committed their lives to doing what they loved. It's also a fascinating story of the rise and fall of a family aviation company.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Schweizer Aircraft is the story of the American dream. Three brothers became enamored with flight during the golden age of aviation. Aviation becomes their passion. In 1930, they design, build, and then teach themselves to fly in their first glider. They pursue their dream and create a company that eventually produces over six thousand aircraft. The company’s products make aviation history. Bill Schweizer tells the story of those early years — up to the transition of the company in 1981 to the second generation of Schweizers. Paul H. Schweizer picks up the story from there. The Schweizers’ entrepreneurial approach to business and refusal to let go of their dream resulted in the company becoming an industry leader in sailplanes, agricultural spray aircraft, light helicopters, covert surveillance aircraft, and unmanned vehicles. The diversity of its aviation products made it unique. At the time the business was sold to Sikorsky Aircraft in 2004, Schweizer Aircraft was the oldest privately-owned aircraft manufacturer in the world. It is a remarkable story that will inspire others with a passion and a dream.
