An account of the resource
Billy Robinson was Grinnell's Pioneer Aviator.
William C. Robinson came to live in Grinnell, at the age of 12, in 1896. He was a handyman, tinkerer, and bicycle repairman who designed and built his own flying machine. In 1911, with the help of Charles Hink, Robinson constructed a 60 horse power radial motor for his monoplane. In 1914 he set a record for non-stop flight, carrying mail from Des Moines to Kentland, Indiana. Robinson perished, while flying his biplane, attempting to set an altitude record on March 11, 1916.
