Akin, Earl T
Breckenridge TX.
USA
Akin was reportedly experimenting with manned flight about the same time as the Wright brothers, but his early flights were in gliders. The c.1935 AA was Akin’s one-place design, but only a brief descriptive paragraph was found. He designed and built gliders, and was one of the first to be towed to altitude by a plane. He also made a record-breaking flight from NYC to Washington DC (glider or plane?) and constructed several powered aircraft. He built a 2pCmwM called the Buckaroo with deep-chord, tapered wings, about the 1930s possibly registered N11936.
