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.

Right, that is why I said MOLDLESS COMPOSITE.
  The DYNEL covered the FOAM. It was not used on
  the wood

There are many composite materials. Plywood is composite. So is steel reinforced concrete.

I said "first fiberglass air plane to fly?"
