The Canadian Aerodrome Company was the first commercial enterprise in the British Empire to design and manufacture aircraft. The company was formed following the dissolution of Alexander Graham Bell's Aerial Experiment Association. The company was established by Frederick W. "Casey" Baldwin and J.A.D. McCurdy in 1909, with the financial backing of Alexander Graham Bell. The company was headquartered in Baddeck, Nova Scotia at the Kite House at Bell's Beinn Bhreagh estate. 〔Molson and Taylor 1982, p. 22.〕 The Canadian Aerodrome Company manufactured aircraft based on the ''AEA Silver Dart'', producing the ''Baddeck No. 1'', and the ''Baddeck No. 2'' as well as a separate commissioned design, the ''Hubbard Monoplane (Hubbard II)'' before the company was dissolved in 1910.〔 ==References== ;Notes ;Citations ;Bibliography * Green, H.
