One of 3 flyable Harlow aircraft, Jeffco Airport,
April 1985. This is a PJC-2 model.

The company was founded in 1936 by professor Max B. Harlow to build the Harlow PJC-2, a production version of the PJC-1. The aircraft had been designed and built as a class project at Pasadena Junior College. Harlow had worked with Howard Hughes on the Hughes H-1 racer. Hughes in turn later backed Harlow's enterprise. Flight operations were conducted at Alhambra Airport and production was scheduled to begin in the former Western Air Express hangar.

HIGHLIGHTS:

The Harlow PJC-1 was a prototype.

The Harlow PJC-2 was the production version.

The Harlow PC-5 was a military trainer version.

The Harlow PC-5 rights were purchased by Cub Aircraft Limited for wartime production.

Harlow bought one-third interest in Porterfield Aircraft Corporation.

A majority interest in Harlow was bought by Intercontinent Corporation in 1941.

Intercontinent Corporation sold Harlow to Vultee Aircraft.

1941-1945 - Harlow facilities were subsequently used to build aircraft assemblies and components throughout WWII.

In 1945 the Vultee Aircraft bought the Alhambra Airport, California, for $350,000 with the intention to build the Interstate Cadet but resold the rights to Call Aircraft Company in 1946 for $5,000, and the airport to real-estate developers.
