Swiftlight Aircraft Company...anyone know anything

[OBIO]

While looking up some schemes for NCGent's (TopFlightSimulation) Lockheed Air Express, I came across a site that had aircraft accidents listed. And one of those accidents involved a Lockheed Air Express owned by the Swiftlight Aircraft Company. The plane, registered as NC522K, crashed in Palmetto, Georgia on April 27, 1934. I did several searches for Swiftlight but could find no additional information about the company or the plane.

Anyone ever heard of Swiftlight Aircraft Company or have any info on it?

Thanks for the link. That gives me a nice bit of history to work off of as I bring NC522K back to life on NCGent' Air Express. I have it painted up, but in a totally fictional color scheme (based on a plastic toy AIr Express I saw online...very nice scheme, will keep it in the skin package, but not as NC522K).
