Great shots, sir. Could this aircraft have been built in the 30s? I had
never seen it before . . .

Thank you for the pics.

Thanks for posting them. My favorite is #3. I am a sucker for polished
aluminum and red paint.

Late 1940s and through the '50s. It was built to meet an army spec but lost
out to the DHC-2 Beaver.

Actually the Army did buy some, calling it the LC-126,
but never in the numbers Cessna hoped. They advertized it
on the civilian market as the "Businessliner" but it was
not much of a success. It consumed more oil than the Beaver,
which I can relate from personal experience consumed a lot.
At every landing it was "fill the oil and check the gas"....

Thanks for the info . . .
My father probably would have said the same . . .being that he was a flight
engineer on many aircrafts of the period (50s and up until the early 60s)

He flew quite a bit in Canada's north resuppl;ying radar stations, and a lot
more . . .

Crew in the Beaver, IIRC, could fill the oil reservoir while in flight.
