Nowadays know as
Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology,
the Spartan School of Aeronautics was founded in 1928 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by oil
magnate William G. Skelly.
Skelly believed air transportation was the way of the future and to be
successful would require skilled aircraft technicians and pilots. Spartan claims
to have trained more than 100,000 technicians and pilots for careers in the
aeronautics industry. They now have branches in Denver, Colorado, and Los
Angeles and Inland Empire, California. The Spartan Black Cat logo, which
includes the number 13, and the slogan "Knowledge and Skill Overcome
Superstition and Luck," was the original insignia of the Spartan College Dawn
Patrol. The fact that Spartan School of Aeronautics began only a year before of
the stock
market crash of 1929 and survived the ensuing decade-long
Great Depression
and Dust Bowl years is a
testament to its tenacity. This advertisement appeared in a 1954 issue of
Air Trails - Hobbies for Young Men magazine, which was shortly after the
end of the Korean War.
