Boeing Stearman Aircraft Insurance
Bob Travers, our founder, learned to fly in a Stearman and eventually moved into the PBY Catalina flying boat and later the Douglas DC3. Stearman Aircraft Inc. was first founded in 1926 in Venice, California, by Lloyd Stearman, who had a background in both architecture and engineering. Early Stearman aircraft were even used by Charles Lindbergh to survey the route for Transcontinental and Western Airways. By the late 1920’s, Stearman Aircraft became part of the United Aircraft and Transportation Corp., which was owned by William Boeing. Stearman aircraft were utilized as a primary trainer for US Army and US Navy pilots during World War II. The Model 75 is renowned for its strength and has become one of Stearman’s most successful models. After the war concluded, many Stearman aircraft were repurposed as crop dusters or used in air shows and are now highly collectible due to their docile nature, safety, and ease of operation.
