Photo Comment
Photo from the Smithsonian's Giuseppe M Bellanca Collection, presumably showing CF-ARW before delivery at Bellanca Field. This plane was used by the Eldorado mining company's uranium oxide mine at Port Radium, Northwest Territories, operated by Mackenzie Air Service of Edmonton. Nicknamed 'Flying W', the Aircruiser was used predominantly in Canada as a result of the 1934 US regulation banning single-engined airliners.
