Lee's Oshkosh Airplane
| In order to undertake a trans-Atlantic flight to Norway, Clyde Allen Lee sought financial support from the local Oshkosh clothing company. The sign painted on the side reads: "Oshkosh B'Gosh Over All". Toward that end, he painted company advertising on the fuselage of his Stinson airplane, but the company lost interest. Ultimately, businessmen in Vermont offered support, and Lee repainted the plane before taking off. Clyde Allen Lee disappeared over the Atlantic during his flight to Norway in 1932. |
