factory manager Of the Curtiss-
Wright Corp. plant in Columbus,
has been actively engaged in air
craft production for a third of a
century, a record which is held
by only a handful of men today.
After his first glider expert
ence, Vaughn, who was born at
Rootstown, o., quickly took to
aviation. He Immediately wrote
letters to Glenn Curtiss and 9TH
er early airmen, and the next
year travelled through IA states
and part of Canada barnstorm-
ing with a dirigible.
Later he toured the entire ma
ton, but he had his first con-
tract flight at Xenia, O., and he
also made flights at Niles, Pauld-
ing and Tiffin. 1t was Vaughn
who flew Glenn Curtiss' bi-plane
with serial number one. He built
five airplanes himself based on
this first Curtiss ship.
The Ohio pioneer also develop
ed what may have been the first
tractor type airplane Gall the
early types had pusher propel-
lors).
Vaughn found that the fuselage
strength was not suitable so he
sold the plane to Ernest Hall, of
Warren, who is still active in
aviation.
Before the last war, he built
exhibition planes and had fly
ing circus in 1914. During
World War | he tested planes
and trained pilots, engineered
new Curtiss designs and super
vised the construction of Navy
blimps in Akron, Buffalo and
Chicago.
After the war, he continued
with experimental designing and
production work at Buffalo be-
fore returning to his home state.
