Bach Aircraft
Former American aircraft manufacturer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bach Aircraft Company was established by aviator L. Morton Bach at Clover Field, Santa Monica, California in 1927 to manufacture tri-motor airliners as the Bach Air Yacht in various models, as well as several other aircraft.[1] The company hired Waldo Waterman as its chief test pilot, who brought on Max B. Harlow as the chief engineer.[2] In 1931, the business was reorganized into the Aircraft Production Corporation but did not manufacture any further new designs.
