Kinner
Airplane & Motor Corp. was founded in 1919 by W.B. Kinner to
produce radial engines. The company also produced light
general and sport aircraft.
Kinner went bankrupt in 1937 selling his aircraft
rights to Timm Aircraft and engine rights to a new Kinner Motors.
The new Kinner produced thousands of engines for trainers during World
War II.
The second Kinner Motors was sold to a scooter
manufacturer in 1946. |
