Today In Aviation History: First Commercial Air Cargo Flight

On this day in aviation history, 116 years ago (November 7, 1910), aviator Philip Orin Parmelee completed what is widely recognized as the world’s first commercial air cargo flight. Flying a Wright Model B biplane, Parmelee transported two bolts of dress silk from Dayton to Columbus, Ohio, for the Morehouse-Martens Department Store. The approximately 65-mile journey took one hour and six minutes, demonstrating a new commercial application for the airplane. The historic flight was arranged as a publicity event for the Columbus department store, which sought to demonstrate the speed and possibilities of aviation. The silk, weighing approximately 100 pounds, was secured in the aircraft’s passenger seat. Parmelee departed from Huffman Prairie near Dayton and flew eastward toward Columbus, navigating across the Ohio countryside at a time when aviation was still in its infancy.

Aeronca: The Journey of America’s Pioneer in Commercial General Aviation

The Aeronautical Corporation of America, originally formed as Cincinnati Aeronautical Corporation, was founded on November 11, 1928, in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is often shortened to Aeronca and became the first American company to produce a commercially successful general aviation aircraft. In 1941, the company officially changed its name to Aeronca Aircraft Corporation. The company began production in 1929 with the Aeronca C-2 monoplane, known as the “Flying Bathtub.” The “C” in its name stands for Cincinnati. In 1937, the company introduced the Scout, a two-seater model. The Scout evolved into the Chief and Super Chief the following year. In 1937, the Ohio River flood washed away the entire Lunken Airport area, destroying Aeronca’s factory, tooling, and nearly all early blueprints and drawings. Because of this, the company moved out of the floodplain in 1939 to Hook Field Municipal Airport in Middletown, Ohio. By October 1940, the factory had to expand by 25,000 square feet to meet production needs.
