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.
