Opening Up The Nation

 Continuing where I left off yesterday, with another view of that Junkers.

This is a Fairchild FC-2W2. Planes like this became useful in both military and civilian applications in charting the country and opening up the vast interior.

The Norseman is a Canadian design, a cargo plane well used by bush pilots. A handful are still being used today.

A Canadian classic- the Canadian branch of De Havilland came up with the Beaver, the iconic bush plane. This particular one is the first produced of the entire line.

Here we see the Stinson Reliant.

This is the Travel Air 2000, the product of Americans who would become pivotal names in air production- Walter Beech, Clyde Cessna, and Lloyd Stearman.
