#aircargohistory 1935 (thread) - Waco "S" series aircraft, and Waco aircraft in general, were (also) used for cargo. Some S-series models were adapted for cargo transport, and the company was also a major producer of military cargo and troop-carrying gliders, such as the CG-4A.
Waco S-Series (YKS-6 or ZKS-6), registration CF-AYT. Probably with Canadian Pacific Air Lines. 1943
