| Description | The Fairchild 24 was a big plane, as you know if you have ever seen one. They came with two versions of engines, a straight six as this model, and with a radial engine Wasp powerplant, which gave the Fairchild 24 a ‘bush plane’ look. The landing gear are a feature that stand out prominently. They were designed for rough field landings and hard bounces. In the time of the production of the Fairchild, a lot of landing fields were still exactly that, fields. You would land in the grass and often came across pot holes and other such bits of rough terrain. I don’t know why, but usually the Fairchilds fitted with the Ranger straight six had wheel pants or skirts, while the Wasp radial engine powered Fairchilds usually didn’t have skirts fitted at all.
