The WACO Historical Society opened the "Historic WACO Field" north of Dayton in 1997, and it now has a busy, fascinating little museum dedicated to the products of the Weaver Aircraft Company of Ohio.
In the late 1920s WACO was the largest producer of civil aircraft in the world. By the way - the folks there insist that the pronunciation of WACO is as in water, ie "Wawe-co", not to be confused with Waco, Texas which is pronounced "Way-co". |
