BEECHCRAFT MODEL 17 STAGGERWING
![]()
Distinguished by the negative stagger of its wings, chosen for pilot's
view and structural and aerodynamic reasons, the Beech Model 17 first
flew in 1932 and became the marketable commodity that was to
eventually establish Beech as a major aircraft manufacturer.Over 400 model 17's had been built when the US entered WW2 and
production transferred to the military UC-43/GB-2 models which saw
service with the USAAF, US Navy and British Royal Navy. A number
of civil models were also impressed into the military. A further 90
civil examples were built when production resumed between 1945
and 1948.This CD set contains four flight manuals for the Beech 17. The USAAF
flight manuals and one manufacturers manual have been copied from
the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages, the other Beech
factory flight manual has been copied from a later monotone Beech
re-print.
