Nice find. Could be a Schwinn. The headtube area looks Schwinn brazed. Pull the crank to see if it says "AS & Co"

The frame, (but that is all) is from a 1935/1936 Huffman. The rest of the bike is built up from parts. In my experience, the Aero Flyer badge turns up on a lot of bikes that were probably rebuilt from parts in bike shops during WW2. If you unscrew the badge, you may find another set of badge holes and the characteristic Huffman “bottle-cap headbadge” hole in the front-center of the tube.

Buck

Great looking bike!
I think I might color sand it and blast it with clear after getting everything properly lubed.
Then I'd get an old rack for it...
Have fun!
