| Waco S3HD |
| United States of America, 1934 -
A new series of Waco two seaters began with the WHD of 1933, which
was followed by the custom built S3HD in 1934: the King of the Waco
biplanes! The prospect of Latin American business led to several military
variants. The aircraft could operate from the most restricted areas
and although designed as a sport aircraft, had the blood of a pursuit
ship in its veins. Cuba purchased an armed S3HD-A in 1935. At least
three more Latin American countries ordered S3HD variants. Eventually
thirteen D models were built, the last in 1938. The original
S3HD still flies! In our times the aircraft with its 420 hp Pratt
& Whitney Wasp Junior radial is regarded by many as the ultimate sport
biplane of the prewar era. |
