Dear friends, We have New arrivals for you from Dora Wings meticulously designed replica of one of the most versatile aircraft in aviation history. The de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver earned its reputation as a reliable aircraft, widely used for bush flying, military operations, and scientific exploration.

Historical Significance of the L20A/U6A Beaver

The Beaver, first flown in 1947, was developed to meet the demands of Canada’s vast wilderness. Designed with input from bush pilots, it featured exceptional short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, allowing it to operate on remote airstrips, frozen lakes, and riverbanks. Its durable construction made it ideal for carrying supplies, transporting personnel, and even delivering mail to hard-to-reach communities. The aircraft was later adopted by the U.S. Army, where it was designated the L20A/U6A, and played a vital role in logistics and reconnaissance during the Korean War.
