Established in 1929 as (Oliver L) Parks Aircraft Div, Parks Air Lines Inc/Parks Air College, East St Louis IL. USA. A division of the Detroit Aircraft Corp by 1930, Parks had built training aircraft for its own companies, Parks Air College and Parks Air Lines. After the Detroit takeover, Parks aircraft were built by Ryan.
