Curtiss-Wright C-76 Caravan

The Curtiss-Wright C-76 Caravan (company designation CW-27) was an all-wood military transport aircraft. The C-76 was intended as a substitute standard aircraft in the event of expected wartime shortages of light alloys. However both prototype and production aircraft failed several critical flight and static tests and after U.S. aluminum production proved sufficient for wartime defense requirements orders for the C-76 were cancelled and production terminated.
