The civil Cessna T-50 was first flown in 1939 and from it, the AT-17 multi-engine trainer was derived for the military, often known as the Bobcat, or Crane in Canada. Over 5,400 were built, including more than 800 Cranes for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) to supplement Ansons. The CWH Museum's Crane 1A was constructed in 1942 and flew with 4 SFTS at Saskatoon and 11 SFTS at Yorkton, Saskatchewan. After the war, it was flown by various owners in Quebec and Ontario as CF-FGF. It remains flyable.
