The WACO F series was a revolutionary small biplane that enabled general aviation to survive the Great Depression through its efficient, economical design. First flown in 1930, it was an open-cockpit tandem-seat biplane powered by various radial engines ranging from 165 to 225 horsepower. Weighing 450 pounds less than its predecessor while maintaining similar performance, the F series could accommodate three persons in tandem cockpits. Over 600 F series aircraft were manufactured by the Waco Aircraft Company in Troy, Ohio during the early 1930s.
