Why: My mom found a scrapbook that included a print ad I was in for the Flexible Flyer. (I am out of town right now, but maybe I will scan it when I get home. I was adorable.)

Answer: Inventor Antonio Pasin coined the name in 1930 in honor of his fascination with flight and the invention of the radio. He called his company Radio Steel & Manufacturing. It was the largest producer of toy wagons, producing 1500 a day despite the Great Depression.
