Noorduyn Norseman Mk VI model airplane The prototype for this airplane was first flown on November, 14, 1935. An extremely reliable and structurally sound airplane, the Noorduyn had landing gear stubs to which could be attached wheels, floats, or skis; making this classic design a true "bushplane" expressly designed for harsh northern environments. Total production by Noorduyn and CCF (Canadian Car & Foundry, who had produced many the the Norseman) numbered about 900 airplanes, with about 50 aircraft still in use today. The majority of these airplanes were built for military use during World War II, used both during and after the war by the air forces of Canada, the United States, Australia, Brazil, Honduras, Indonesia, Netherlands, East Indies, Norway, and Sweden. Interestingly, the VI designation was used for the airplanes produced during World War II for the RCAF and the USAAF, with the designation Norseman V reserved by patriotic Bob Noorduyn for the first post war civil version with the "V" signifying "victory". The Noorduyn Norseman V used one 550-hp Pratt & Whitney R-1340-AN-1 Wasp radial piston engine, giving the airplane a maximum speed of 155 mph, service ceiling of 17,000 feet, and a range of 1,150 miles. All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
