The 1929 Argo Open Biplane, officially known as the Alliance A-1 Argo, is a classic American two-seat aircraft designed during the vibrant interwar period of aviation. Manufactured by the Alliance Aircraft Corporation of Alliance, Ohio—a company born from the reorganization of Hess Aircraft Co. in 1928—the Argo was crafted for private pilots seeking a sturdy, reliable flying experience.
With its open cockpit, dual-wing configuration, and sleek fuselage, the Argo embodied the spirit of adventure and innovation that defined the late 1920s. Powered by the in-house Warrior seven-cylinder radial engine, it offered both performance and charm. Only a handful were built, and today, the sole surviving airworthy model resides at the Golden Wings Air Museum in Minnesota.
The aircraft’s enduring appeal is captured in vintage postcards and memorabilia, such as the Aviation Chrome NV series, which celebrate its timeless design and historical significance
