In 1928, the
board of Consolidated Aircraft decided to drop their light, trainer
aircraft. Consolidated President and designer Reuben H. Fleet founded Fleet Aircraft to
acquire the rights to these aircraft.
Consolidated bought back Fleet Aircraft as a separate
division in 1929 and formed Fleet Aircraft of Canada in
1930.
The Fleet name disappeared within Consolidated by
1939. Fleet Aircraft of Canada mainly produced trainers for
the RCAF and ceased operations in 1957. |
