VERTOL AIRCRAFT COMPANY

CANADA

A wholly-owned subsidiary of Vertol Aircraft Corporation, the Canadian Company was operated as completely independent. It was formed in February 1954, on former RCAF airfield at Arnprior, Ontario, initially to service and overhaul helicopters. Entered production with the Model 42A, a modified version of the Piasecki (Vertol) H-21 helicopter. A tandem-rotor general-purpose helicopter, it accommodated a crew of 1/2 and 18 passengers.
