Hi larry. Eastman Aircraft was a division of Detroit Aircraft. They were affiliated with Ryan aircraft and Lockheed Martin I believe. Eastman was set up to produce Grumman aircraft for WWII, but that never materialized. That is all I know about them.

I recently acquired a panel for the Eastman E-2 aircraft (serial # 23) if anybody is doing a restoration. It has a brass face with a nav-on/off switch in the center, and light at the top of the panel. It has room for 6 instruments and a tag that says "Detroit Aircraft Corp. Eastman Division E-2. Engine: Challenger. Neat looking vintage piece.

Who manufactured the Eastman E-2A? Was it any part of what became Eastman Kodak?
