We have recently started working on a paper on the homebuilt aircraft, both foreign- and Canadian-designed, that were put together in Canada in the 1920s and 30s.  It is our hope that, in two or three years, this paper will be turned into an illustrated "Web essay" for our Website.  We have basic information on the hundred or so homebuilt registered in Canada during those years, some of it found in the CAHS Journal, as well as minimum information on twenty or so homebuilt that were at least partly built but not registered. We also have some photos.

Having said this, we would be most interested in obtaining additional information and, if at all possible, photos of both registered and non-registered homebuilt aircraft put together in Canada during the interwar years.

All interested parties especially CAHS members who can contribute information, are requested to do so as soon possible to:
