BH177 Fairchild 24W 2357mm ARF

The four-seater Fairchild model 24 was produced from the early 1930s until the late 1940s - first as a tourist and light-duty, inverted or star-powered, popular with mobile sports customers (including a range of Hollywood stars), and then as transport and connecting UC-61 Forwarder in large series for the US Air Force. Several hundred of them served with the fighting name Argus in the British RAF; at least one flew after the war also in our country - unfortunately, as an ideologically objectionable he was not allowed to live to the present. But in the world, thanks to the robust design, these planes still fly.
