Publisher Name of Publication Topic of Publication Date of Publication Publication
RCAF Experimental Project 2024 Cold Weather Tests June 1954 EP 2024 Cold Weather Tests June 1954.pdf


This publication is about the cold weather testing that the RCAF conducted on Expeditor 2316 during the winter of 1953 - 54 at Fort Churchill, Manitoba.

At the time, the publication was classified "Confidential", but the appropriate Unit Security Officer declassified the publication in 1965. (Meaning that this manual is no longer considered classified or designated material.)

Even though the RCAF stopped using the Expeditor Aircraft in 1968, it was felt at Time Travel Air that it would be beneficial to the Beech 18 community to release this information, seeing that Beech 18's are flying longer, farther, and through increasingly harsh conditions.

Finally, please keep in mind that this publication is old, and is intended for informational purposes only. Use at your own risk.
