1933 Milliken M-1 Special

Growing up in Old Town, Maine in the 1920s, Bill Milliken was interested in all things mechanical and moving. He evolved from building push cars and gliders to cyclecars, motorcycles, and motorized skis. Like many in the 1920s, he avidly followed the aviation challenges of the day, particularly attempts to fly over oceans, mountains, and other geographic obstacles. In 1928, a 17-year-old Milliken hitchhiked to New York to visit the airfields and factories that supported the growing industry.
