07/07/2007. Remarks by Ed Coates: "The Trojan two-seat all-metal light cabin monoplane was designed by Harold Emigh and produced in small numbers (most surveys show 58 as having been finished) in 1948-49. The basic concept was one of simplicity and ruggedness. The most unique and identifiable feature were the ribbed wings, strong enough, it was claimed, to be able to walk on them.

Unfortunately, like in so many other two-seat light aircraft of the day, the market was, by then, already saturated, and its low-sitting rather plain looks did not possess enough pizzazz to attract buyers. The Emigh Trojan Aircraft Co. of Bisbee-Douglas Airport, Arizona, folded in 1950.

On April 22, 2000, the aircraft crashed at Brentwood, the two occupants were killed."
