Description
This volume of "U.S. CIVIL AIRCRAFT" is part of a series, which when completed, will cover all civil airplanes given an "Approved Type Certificate" by the U.S. Government in the numerical series." The Approved Type Certificate" (ATC) was a stamp of approval by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and is actually a charter handed down for the birth of a specific aircraft model.
Vol. 8 covers one hundred airplanes manufactured prior, during, and after the "World War 2" period (1939-1948) with ATC certificates of #701 thru #800. Included are such favorites as the Cessna "Airmaster," the Bellanca "Junior," the "Ercoupe," "Cub Cruiser," Culver "Cadet," Stearman "Kaydet," Fairchild PT-19, the post-war offerings led off by the Aeronca "Champion," Republic "Seabee," the Stinson "Voyager," Beech "Bonanza," Ryan "Navion," and the Piper "Vagabond" which was introduced as a real cheapie and turned out to be a real sweetheart.
