Luscombe Aircraft

Luscombe aircraft was a United States aircraft manufacturer from 1933 to 1950. Donald A. Luscombe founded the Luscombe aircraft company in 1933, in Kansas City, Missouri. Luscombe had already made his reputation as an aircraft designer with the Monocoupe series of light aircraft, but he felt that the tube-and-fabric method of construction was too expensive and inefficient. He planned to create a light aircraft that was all-metal monocoque construction. In 1936, the company designed and began flying a simplified version of the Phantom known as the Luscombe 90, or Model 4.
