The Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing is an American biplane with an atypical negative stagger (the lower wing is further forward than the upper wing), that first flew in 1932.
The Beech UC-43 Traveler was a slightly modified version of the Staggerwing. In late 1938, the USAAC purchased three Model D17S to evaluate them for use as light liason aircraft. These were designated YC-43. After a short flight test program, the YC-43s went to Europe to serve as liaison aircraft with the air attachés in London, Paris, and Rome.
