AIR ARM... Over the Alaska Highway... the NORSEMAN

The Alaska Highway and the "Norseman." Two names linked together in a gigantic task which saw the highway-builders conquer untold difficulties.

Noorduyn Norseman planes, designed and built in Canada, operated by the U S Army, played a big part in that conquest. With every miles of progress, they provided "eyes" for the engineers... food for the army or workmen... materials... transportation. Here was airplane made to order for the job... for the country. A plane for small, rough landing surfaces... for short take-offs... big loads... for ready conversion to skis, wheels or floats.

Here is a Canadian-made plane that delivered the goods.

Today, Noorduyn's entire capacity is devoted to the wartime production, in large quantities,of Norseman (UC-64) transports for the USAAF, and Harvard (AT-16) advanced trainers for the British Empire Air Training Plan.

In the peace to come, that capacity will be turned over to the new and greater Norseman for the rehabilitation and further development of the world's resources.
