The US Civil Register lists the Norseman as a Mk V!?
Hi Dennis et al--
There was a Norseman V as well. Paradoxically the VI came first; Robert Noorduyn reserved the "V" for the postwar (ie. V-for-Victory) civilian version. There was also a Mk.VII, with metal wings of different span and planform, which remained a prototype (actually, I wonder what became of that one?).
