Buckley Aircraft Company was an American aircraft manufacturer based in Wichita, Kansas.
Buckley aircraft was founded with US$150,000 in capital in 1929 by Fred Buckley, William J. Carr, Earl Jones, A.J Christman, Joseph Paul, and William Bushnell Stout.
The companies first product, the Buckley F-1 low winged monoplane with a Kinner K-5 engine was not considered a good design and was abandoned. The second product, the LC-4 was a modern all-aluminum four place aircraft that received orders for 200 units for air taxi service. The venture failed due to lack of capital as the Great Depression set in.
