Husky history
Hi Chuck,
When I saw a Husky for the first time my first thought was 'that looks like a big Auster'! The tail fin and tailplane especially looked very Auster-ish.
Bearing in mind that the Auster was originally an American Taylorcraft built under licence in the UK and fitted with a Brit engine, I find myself wondering whether the design of the Husky is in any way related to the design of the Taylorcraft.
I know that the final design work on the Husky was carried out by Christen, but did they originate the design from scratch or did they acquire it in an incomplete form from some other source related to Taylorcraft?
Do you happen to know anything about this?
Regards,
BP.
