The Bach Aircraft Company was established by aviator L. Morton Bach at Clover Field, Santa Monica, California in 1927 to manufacture tri-motor airliners as the Bach Air Yacht in various models, as well as several other aircraft.[1] The company hired Waldo Waterman as its chief test pilot, who brought on Max B. Harlow as the chief engineer.[2] In 1931, the business was reorganized into the Aircraft Production Corporation but did not manufacture any further new designs.
