Harvard production

  


In January 1940, the Noordyn factory in Montreal got an order to built Harvard trainers (Texans to our American friends). By the end of the war they had built 2800 planes. This view shows nearly completed aircraft being worked on outside. The company also continued making Norseman bush planes, some for the United States.

    My Pa used to turn me loose in the aircraft boneyard outside of Luke AFB and I made it my mission to sit in every Texan I could get in, even the skeletons. I shot down a lot of 'Squareheads' too!

    As skeletons, they probably looked much the same as the scene above.
