Planes of Fame Air Museum Receives A Beechcraft Staggerwing
Last week, the Planes of Fame Air Museum of Chino, California welcomed the donation of a new airplane that flew into Chino Airport on August 13. The aircraft in question is a Beechcraft D17S Staggerwing, widely considered to be one of the most attractive airplanes by aviation enthusiasts. With its top wings slanted back from the bottom wings (hence the origin for its name), retractable landing gear and plush interior, the Staggerwing was seen as the last word in luxury aircraft for its time, being seen in the same light as today’s business jets. Staggerwings even saw pre-war success as air racers among the likes of women pilots Blanche Noyes, Louise Thaden, and Jacqueline Cochran. Noyes and Thaden won the 1936 Bendix Trophy and Cochran placed third in the 1937 race, respectively. The Staggerwing also served with distinction in WWII, flying as a light transport for diplomats in Europe and as a light personnel transport for the US and British militaries.
