The Pheasant Aircraft Company was an American aircraft manufacturer. In 1927 flight school operator Lee R. Briggs had mobilized Memphis Missouri community members to incorporate a company for aircraft production. The first aircraft was a three-seater designed by Orville Hickman. Production peaked at one unit per week. On December 5 1927 Biggs died in a training accident. Aircraft racer Steve Wittman took over as chief test pilot.
