The Stinson 108 is one of the more iconic designs to come out of the post-World War II aviation boom. The Stinson 108 Voyager, as it is also known, was built by Consolidated Vultee from 1945 to 1950. The aircraft has a distinctive curved yoke and tear-drop shaped wheel pants, harkening back to a time when aircraft often looked more like pieces of sculpture than modes of transportation. Some might go so far as to call the Stinson 108 a romantic design.
