Although it is common knowledge among aviation historians that Ozark Air Lines began operations in 1950 with the DC3, it is a lesser known fact that in 1932 a company called Ozark Airways conducted operations from Kansas City to Springfield, MO with Stinson aircraft. It ceased operations in 1933 as the Great Depression deepened. In 1943 in the midst of WWII, a second, unrelated, Ozark Airways began flying from Springfield, MO to places around the state such as St Louis, Kansas City, Columbia and others, flying the Beech D-17S Staggerwing, and the Cessna T-50 Crane. OVA brings back the Pioneer Days of Ozark with our FS fleet emulating the early days of Ozark Airways.
