Clemons M. Brukner was born 1895 to John Conrad and Rachel Jane Frye. Within a few years the family moved to Battle Creek, Michigan. During High School Clayton with his brother Clem developed strong friendships with Ed Goff, Herb and Elwood J. Junkin (nick-name "Sam").
They all were enthusiastically drawn to aviation and initially designed/developed gliders that successfully were airborne. After high school, Clem served in the Army Signal Corps in France during World War One, and was present at the signing of the Armistice in Paris. Clemens Brukner was the telegrapher who sent the message of the Armistice signing to the United States.
After WWI, Clem became a telegrapher for Postal Telegraph and spent several years in that business with a Cleveland Bank. During this time, Clem had become acquainted with Edward E. Green, a designer and stress analysis engineer for the Warner-Swayze Co.
Clem's brother, Clayton, hired Ed Green to assume the duties with his Advance Aircraft Company, as chief designer and engineer. Charlie Meyers was hired shortly thereafter, as chief test pilot. Charlie was the Brother-in-law of George "Buck" Weaver who initially formed WACO (Weaver Aircraft Company).
Clem remained working alongside his brother Clayton with Advance Aircraft Co., which was reorganized in 1928 as Waco Aircraft Company until it was sold during the 1960's.
