Stinson‘s sturdy SM-6000 family started its life in 1929 as the Corman 3000. These high-wing strutted monoplanes were powered by a trio of 215hp Lycoming R-680’s. They usually seated a pilot and ten passengers, mail or cargo. Fifty-three were produced in a number of slightly different variants. Twenty-four of the powered-up “U” model were later produced starting in 1932.
Just a pretty snapshot of a SM-6000-B of the Colonial Airlines, St. Hubert, Quebec, taken on May 1934.
