Flying into History...
Business continued to grow under the leadership founder of John A. Schuette. Mr.
Schuette, a WWI aviator, created the aircraft division of the company in the late
1920’s. The Invincible Center Wing monoplane was the result. “Wings are placed
in alignment with the center of the propeller thrust, giving balance and greater
speed under all flying conditions.”
Three different models were produced. But, as the local paper reported in 1979,
“Although the aircraft built by Invincible were advanced for their day, the three
planes designed were the only ones built. Further production of the aircraft was
rudely interrupted by the Depression.” Photo
