The Fike E was the last in the series of aircraft
designed by William J. Fike of Alaska. The Fike A, B and C were built
between 1933 and 1936, and the Fike D first flew in 1951. Plans for the
Fike E were available by 1975 and a small number were successfully
completed. At least three survive with one remaining airworthy in
Canada.
