The Abrams Air Craft Corporation was an aircraft manufacturer established in Lansing, Michigan, [1] USA, in 1937 as an offshoot of Talbert Abrams' Aerial Survey Corporation. [2] Abrams had founded an airline ( ABC Airline) in 1929 but found himself increasingly interested in aerial photography. The new company was created for the purpose of designing and producing a dedicated survey aircraft. [3] The result was the P-1 Explorer, [4] designed by Abrams with assistance from Kenneth Ronan of Ronan & Kunzl.
World War II interrupted further work.
