The University of Michigan Flyers, as the club was originally called, got its start in the 1910s, although the precise date has been lost to history, as have details such as the identity of the members and the airplanes they flew. It is known that club members competed in the first-ever college flying competition organized by the National Intercollegiate Flying Association (NIFA) in 1929. The Depression and World War II took their toll on the club and somewhere in the 1940s it faded away.
