Leland Snow, a graduate of the aeronautical engineering program at Texas A&M University, had designed and flown his S-1 in 1953.[1] Originally working at Harlingen, Texas, he moved to Olney, Texas in 1958.[2]
The British aviation company of Britten-Norman acted as distributors for Snow's aircraft and later took an equity stake in the company.[3] The company was purchased by the Aero Commander division of North American Rockwell in 1965.[4][5]
