Does anybody know the name, type and location of the first fiberglass
air plane to fly?

The first moldless composite was the KR-1.

The Rand Robinson KR-1 is a single-seat, single-engine sport aircraft designed in the United States in the early 1970s. The structural parts of the KR1 were/are/is wood.

It was not fiberglass. It was Dynel. I have no idea what the base material of Dynel is but it was not fiberglass. Probably a thermo plastic of some sort.

It was not significantly different than covering a plywood aircraft with canvas.
That was what Dynel was intended for.
