Developed soon after World War II, the de Havilland Beaver has become one of the most successful and longlived designs in aviation history. The Beaver was conceived as a halfton 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 islandhopping 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.
