Aeronca is the name under which the Aeronautical Corporation of America, founded in Cincinnati, Ohio, on November 11, 1928, built light aircraft. Backed by the Taft family, it became the first American company to build a commercially successful general aviation aircraft, beginning in 1929 with the Jean A. Roche designed C-2 monoplane that people called the Flying Bathtub. From 1928 to 1951 it was a major producer of general aviation aircraft and also built the engines for some of its early designs. When production ended in 1951 it had sold 17,408 aircraft in 55 models. After the Ohio River flood of 1937 destroyed its factory at Lunken Airport, the company moved to Hook Field in Middletown, Ohio. Aeronca is now a division of Magellan Aerospace, making aircraft, missile and space vehicle components at the Middletown site.
