Towle Aircraft Co Inc / Towle Marine Aircraft Engineering Co
Towle Marine Aircraft Engineering Company was an American aircraft manufacturer of light amphibious aircraft.
Founded in 1927 in Detroit, Michigan, the Towle Marine Aircraft Engineering Company, and its successor Towle Aircraft Company (1928-1932) were founded by former Stout Metal Airplane Division of the Ford Motor Company engineer Thomas Towle. Incorporated initially to build a custom round-the world amphibious aircraft, and follow-on aircraft based on the design.
In a 1930 patent, Towle listed the Towle Aircraft Company as part of the Michigan Amphibian Airplane Corporation.
At the height of the depression, financing was difficult. Towle’s TA-3 used diesel engines on load from Packard, and was funded by Dr. Adams, a “painless dentist” of the Detroit region.
1933: Ended operations for other endeavors.
Torva Sailplanes
This company was formed by J.C. Riddell and J.L. Sellers on 18 September 1969 to design and build sailplanes and glider equipment.
Offices were taken at 13 Pavilion Square, Scarborough, in October and detailed design work commenced on the first project. In February 1970 a small workshop was obtained in Scarborough and work started on the construction of the moulds for the prototype Torva TA Series 1.
