The Immortal Beaver
The Immortal Beaver: The World's Greatest Bush Plane | Sean Rossiter
1 post | 1 read
Developed soon after World War II, the de Havilland Beaver has become one of the most successful and long-lived designs in aviation history. The Beaver was conceived as a half-ton flying pickup truck capable of setting down on land, water, and snow. Since its conception the Beaver has been adopted worldwide, becoming the floatplane of choice for island-hopping along the Pacific Northwest, flying into the Arctic, transporting missionaries and doctors into remote spots in Africa, and serving as a support aircraft in Antarctic expeditions. The Beaver also became the generals Jeep during the Korean War and the generals favorite transport to fishing spots in peacetime.

3⭐️ and a pick for its likely target audience: aviation nerds. The general reader may find this a bit of a dry read.
