Reuben Fleet, the founder of Consolidated Aircraft Company in 1923, designed the first Fleet civilian model in 1928. Successive designs and modifications led to the Fleet Finch, which was developed by a Canadian subsidiary to meet the primary training needs of the RCAF in 1938. The durable aircraft rightfully earned the nickname: the husky, trusty trainer.
