Entering service with the Royal Canadian Air Force in
1941, the Fort was originally intended as an intermediate trainer and
designated Fort 1. A change of policy led to these aircraft being
modified as wireless trainers with the rear cockpit being fitted to
accommodate an aft facing wireless trainee and being re-designated Fort
11. Production ended in 1942 in favour of the Fairchild M-62. It is
believed that only one remains airworthy.
