Victor Roos

Victor H. Roos (April 26, 1888 – October 6, 1964)[1] was an American entrepreneur and the founder or co-founder of several early aircraft companies.

Only one example was built, but it became famous from its modern design, and publicity stunts such as holding in-flight weddings.

In September 1927, Travel Air founder Clyde Cessna split from Walter Beech forming Cessna-Roos aircraft.

Roos became the second largest shareholder in the start-up venture that went on to produce the most popular general aviation aircraft in the world.

[10] With Roos's permission, Ben Howard built his famous air racer "Mr. Mulligan" at the factory site after production of the Eaglet had ceased.
