Embassair is America.
Embassair is proud of its long history and connections with America and American aviation. The company is headquartered in Opa Locka, Florida, and was co-founded by the son of a French Resistance fighter, Franklin Devaux, who greatly admired America's commitment to freedom during
the Second World War.
With his son Frank, he created the "Flying Legend" association, which operates iconic American aircraft including a Dakota, a B25 Mitchell, a P51 Mustang, a PBY Catalina, a Stearman PT17, a Corsair and a T28.
Embassair is also associated with memorable encounters with American aviation heroes, such as Jimmy Doolittle, General Bernard Schriever, considered a key figure in the US Air Force, Georges Gay, sole survivor of an attack during the Battle of Midway, John Young, with whom we flew our PBY Catalina, and Patts Epps, who contributed to the revival of the famous P38 lost under the Greenland ice during the war (read the excellent book "The lost squadron").
Embassair has developed a partnership with the Commemorative Air Force and collaborated with aircraft specialists of the same era, such as Tom Reily and Carl Scholl, who organized the 50th anniversary of the raid on Tokyo with B25s on the aircraft carrier Hornet.
And let's not forget our partnership with Delta Airlines in the Proteus airline.
Embassair represents much more than just a passion for aviation and pilots. This embassy of the future is inspired by the virtues of those who have symbolized the audacity and courage to make a difference.
Embassair is a tribute to America, its history, and its heroes of the skies. That's why we wanted to tell their story through an upcoming collection of legendary portraits.
