Born in oil rich Tulsa, Oklahoma during the 1920s, the Spartan Airplane Co. and its associated flying school became an important part of our pre-war aviation history. Guided by the flamboyant Bill Skelly, the Spartan Airplane Co. produced the legendary Spartan Executive, the most advanced personal aircraft of the day.
