CF-BTW  Bellanca 66-75 Aircruiser                  (c/n  721)

                                    

                                           The reason that this 1938 Bellanca is carrying a 1947 series registration is that it spent its early
                                           years in the Philippines as NPC-41.  The image of it below in those markings illustrates well
                                           the sesquiplane layout of this ugly (yet efficient) beast.   From the Philippines it returned to
                                           Canada in 1943 and went to MacKenzie Air Services.  By 1947 it was flying for Northern
                                           Air Services and became part of the motley Canadian Pacific Airlines fleet plying the bush
                                           services of northern Canada in the late 1940s and 1950s.   CF-BTW is now located at the
                                           Tillamook Air Museum in Oregon.
