This bucket seat from a Beech Craft Model 18 represents a versatile, lightweight, and successful aircraft with a long production history. From 1937 to 1970, Beech Aircraft Corporation manufactured the beloved and adaptable “Twin Beech” as it filled roles from passenger transport to air mail delivery to aerial reconnaissance in World War II. Often used to train pilots and bombardiers, Beech built over 9,000 of them, with varying levels of passenger comfort and capacity based on the aircraft’s role.
