History of 100" Stinson Reliant
Developed as a civilian sports and executive aircraft in the mid-1930s, the Stinson Reliant swiftly gained popularity in both the private and commercial aviation sectors, both in the United States and abroad. In 1936, a notable upgrade saw the introduction of a higher lift wing, leading to the iconic "gull-wing" Reliant series.
When the United States entered World War II, civilian production of the Reliant ceased, and many were requisitioned into service with the U.S. Army Air Corps. Serving as utility aircraft designated UC-81 and trainers designated AT-19, the Reliant played a vital role in military operations. Additionally, the British government ordered 500 Reliants for training and utility purposes, utilized by the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force for light transport and communication tasks. Post-war, approximately 350 British Reliants were repatriated to the U.S., many sold as surplus and dubbed the model V-77.
The V-77, a variant of the SR-10 civilian model, featured a 300 hp Lycoming R680-E3B engine, a single left-side door, and a streamlined cowl. Renowned Tuskegee Airman Frank Macon's "gull-wing" V-77 Reliant, presented to the museum on November 11th, 2019, remains a poignant symbol of aviation history.
