One of the most highly regarded aircraft ever produced, the Beechcraft Model 17 first entered operation in 1933, often as an aerial racer. When World War II broke out, Model 17s were ordered for military use by multiple Allied nations, and the U.S. military put more than a hundred civilian aircraft into operation, primarily as executive transports and couriers.
