Faucett F.19

The Faucett F-19 was a larger and stronger version of the Stinson SM-6B built in Lima, Perú, by Elmer J “Slim” Faucett’s Compania de Avación Faucett.

Built with a 600hp P&W Wasp S1H1-G, using a supplied pattern aircraft, NX219W, from Stinson.

The eight-passenger cabin monoplane was built in small numbers immediately after WW2, used for internal routes by the Faucett airline. Some were refitted with an 875hp P&W Hornet S1E3-G engine.

Thirty were built between 1934-46, of which three were reportedly still active in the late 1990s.

They were also available as a twin-float seaplane.
