Stinson: What Happened to the Company Built by a Pilot Who Logged Over 16,000 Flight Hours

In 1920, aviator Edward Stinson, also the brother of aviator Katherine Stinson, founded the Stinson Aircraft Company in Dayton, Ohio. After five years, Stinson moved his focus to Detroit, Michigan, for his future aviation projects. At the same time, he worked as a stunt pilot and earned $100,000 a year, which was a large amount at the time. He discovered that Detroit’s business community was open to his idea of developing his own airplane. Supported by Alfred V. Verville and local businessmen, members of the Aviation Committee of the Detroit Board of Commerce, Stinson set up the Stinson Aircraft Syndicate in 1925. The committee provided $25,000 to design and build a prototype. This prototype was a biplane with an enclosed cockpit that could carry four passengers and was powered by a Whirlwind J-4 air-cooled radial engine. The test flights took place at Packard Field in Roseville, Michigan, a suburb northeast of Detroit. The Stinson Detroiter SB-1 first flew from Packard Field on January 25, 1926. The airplane was unusual for the time, with an enclosed cabin. It was also equipped with heat, upholstered seats, and an electric cigar lighter, making it comfortable for passengers during cold Michigan winters. The plane became popular, and in February, Stinson offered flights to 70 riders.

Ann Arbor Server Sues Anna's House, Says Overtime Pay Fell to $5.90 an Hour

A server at Anna's House in Ann Arbor says her paycheck told a story that didn't add up: regular pay of $3.93 an hour, and overtime pay of about $5.895 an hour, for a single pay period in August 2024. Lauren Burke has now sued the breakfast chain, its owner and 14 related companies, arguing that math reflects a systemic shortchanging of tipped workers rather than a one-time error.
