Fairchild 71


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.
