The Beaver was conceived as a \"half-ton flying pickup truck\" capable of setting down on land, water, and snow. Since its conception the Beaver has been adopted worldwide, becoming the floatplane of choice for island-hopping along the Pacific Northwest, flying into the Arctic, transporting missionaries and doctors into remote spots in Africa, and serving as a support aircraft in Antarctic expeditions. The Beaver also became \"the generals' Jeep\" during the Korean War -- and the generals' favorite transport to fishing spots in peacetime.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46315209851031,"sku":"9781550547245","price":2624.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781550547245.webp?v=1767708119","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-immortal-beaver-the-worlds-greatest-bush-plane-9781550547245","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
