EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver floatplane CF-ODA (msn 113) of the Ontario Provincial Air Service (OPAS) moored at a Toronto waterfront jetty on May 26, 1960. The Beaver, a versatile and iconic bush plane, was a common sight in Canadian skies during the mid-twentieth century. In this image, we see the plane's distinctive silhouette reflected in the calm waters, its floats anchored securely to the jetty. The Beaver was a favorite among pilots and passengers alike for its ability to take off and land on water and short strips, making it an essential tool for search and rescue, forest firefighting, and transportation in remote areas. The Ontario Provincial Air Service, a branch of the provincial government, operated a fleet of these aircraft to provide essential services to communities across Ontario. The Beaver's rugged design and reliability made it an ideal choice for the demanding conditions of Canadian aviation. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, a time when bush planes were the backbone of Canada's aerial infrastructure, and the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver was a symbol of Canadian innovation and ingenuity.
