The Wichita Aviators were a minor league baseball team that existed from 1929 to 1932. Based in Wichita, Kansas, they played in the Western League. In 1930 and 1931, they were affiliated with the Pittsburgh Pirates, and in 1932 they were affiliated with the Chicago Cubs. A few notable athletes played for the Aviators, including Indian Bob Johnson, Woody Jensen, Vern Kennedy, Jack Mealey, and perhaps most notably, future Hall of Famer Arky Vaughan.[1]
