Maule M-4  N4162C                (c/n   10)

                                    

                                        This early Maule would have been built in the Jackson, Michigan factory, since it is a 1962 model.
                                        The STOL design was developed by Belford David Maule in 1956.  When originally produced they
                                        were collectively known as the Maule BD-4.  This was soon changed to the M-4, but the Bee Dee
                                        handle stuck, and these early ones are often referred to as the Bee Dee M-4.   My shot shows this
                                        example at Hawthorne Municipal Airport in 1963.
