The Model 24 is a civilian aircraft first produced in 1932. Model 24s were built with a variety of in-line or radial air-cooled engines and different passenger-carrying capacities. The sleek H model was powered by an in-line, 165 hp Ranger; the stubbier G model by a seven-cylinder Warner Scarab radial engine producing 145 hp. In 1937 the buyer had a choice of G models, the Standard or the show stopper Deluxe. The Standard could carry four passengers, the Deluxe only three - all the extras added an excess of 60 pounds to the weight of the aircraft. This aircraft is a Deluxe. Built with the wealthy sportsman-pilot in mind, this handsome airplane was no stranger to praise. Among some of the extras were plush upholstery, roll down windows, wing flaps, extra instruments, electric fuel gauges and a hand-rubbed finish. There were more than 1,000 Model 24s produced for the military under the designation UC-61, but many civilian models flew for the Civil Air Patrol (CAP). U.S. civilian members of the CAP flew countless patrol and rescue missions during the war using their own personal aircraft.
