The Fairchild 71 was developed from the Model FC-2W-2
and found a certain amount of success in Canada where a number were
built by Fairchild Aircraft Ltd. At Longueuil in Quebec as the Fairchild
71C (4 built). The Model 71A (3 built) and the Model 71B powered by a
410hp(305kW) Pratt & Whitney Wasp B were the other main variants. A
handful survive of which two are believed to remain in airworthy
condition.
