Biographical History
Frank A. Van Dersarl (1895-1983) of Denver, Colorado, was a pioneer in the early days of aviation. He and his brothers built a plane in 1912 with parts they scrounged from farmers and by building the parts they couldn't find. In 1931, he designed and built a biplane which he claimed could climb to 13,000 ft., land at 28 miles per hour, and take off from the ground in the space of 10 feet.
