Historical NoteReturn to Top
Siblings Cloyd and Audrey Artman of Oroville, WA were both flyers of gliders in the early 20th century in Eastern Washington. Both started flying gliders in their teens, and Cloyd had a particularly remarkable flight in 1934, soaring for over 13 hours, an endurance record at the time. As a student at Washington State College, Cloyd helped organize the WSC Aero Club. On a demonstration flight for the club in 1937, his glider crashed and he was killed.
