Stinson was an American make of light aircraft and airliners built by the Stinson Aircraft Company, which the aviator Edward Stinson founded in Dayton, Ohio, in 1920. Stinson made Detroit the base of his business after 1925, and the make's first success was the Detroiter cabin biplane, which flew in January 1926 and was followed by the SM-1 monoplane. E. L. Cord bought a controlling share in 1929, and by 1930 the range ran from the four-seat Junior to the Stinson 6000 trimotor airliner. After Edward Stinson died in a crash in 1932 the company passed through the Cord Corporation, AVCO and Consolidated Vultee, building the Reliant, the Voyager and the wartime L-1 Vigilant and L-5 Sentinel before it was sold to Piper Aircraft in 1948.
