De Havilland Beaver - The STOL Workhorse Toddler T-Shirt

The De Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver is an iconic single-engine, high-wing, propeller-driven, short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft. It first took to the skies in 1947 and quickly became renowned for its rugged reliability and versatility. Capable of operating from land, water, and snow with appropriate modifications, it has served a wide array of users from bush pilots to military forces around the globe. The Beaver was designed to meet the demands of the harshest terrains, making it the go-to aircraft for accessing remote areas. Its ability to carry a considerable payload relative to its size, coupled with its ease of maintenance, has endeared it to many. Over 1,600 units were produced until 1967, but many are still in operation today, a testament to their enduring legacy. The Beaver has also been affectionately nicknamed 'the workhorse of the North,' highlighting its pivotal role in connecting remote communities.
