EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a Consolidated-Fleet Model 21-C sits on the tarmac, patiently waiting for its pilot before its delivery to the Mexican Air Force. The image, captured in 1936, showcases the sleek design and imposing presence of this aircraft, which was the civilian variant of the Consolidated PT-12 training plane. The Mexican order for ten Model 21-Cs was completed by Consolidated Aircraft at their production facility in Fort Erie, Canada. This photograph was likely taken during the final stages of preparation before the aircraft was shipped to its new home south of the border. The Model 21-Cs were delivered between November and December of 1936, making this an exciting time for both the Mexican Air Force and Consolidated Aircraft. The Consolidated PT-12, and its civilian counterpart, the Model 21-C, were popular choices for both military and civilian aviation markets during the 1930s. Known for their durability and versatility, these aircraft were used for various roles, including training, transport, and even some light cargo and passenger duties. The delivery of these ten aircraft marked a significant expansion of the Mexican Air Force's capabilities and further solidified Consolidated Aircraft's reputation as a leading manufacturer of aircraft during this era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the excitement and anticipation surrounding the delivery of a new aircraft to a growing air force. The Consolidated-Fleet Model 21-C stands as a testament to the advancements in aviation technology during the 1930s and the vital role that aeronautical transportation played in shaping the world we live in today.
