In 1957 Gailard Barker & Kenneth Bowser built the Barker-Bowser B.1 Midniter aerobatic special N9566C c/n B1. First flying on 2 January 1957, it was powered by a 65hp Continental C-65 and featured strut-braced Luscombe wings. It was aerobatic.
It got its name because my dad was a night-owl. He owned a welding shop in Phoenix and worked late at night, working on his many planes until the sun came up. Shonn Barker 11 December 2007
