SCALE MODEL AIRCRAFT

The Beech UC-43 Traveler was a slightly modified version of the Beech D17S Staggerwing. In late 1938, three Model D17S were purchased for evaluation by the United States Army Air Corps for possible use as a light liaison aircraft. These were designated YC-43. After a short flight test program, the YC-43s were sent to Europe to serve as liaison aircraft. This model represents the aircraft used by the Military Attache of the U.S. Embassy, London, 1939.
