Although the entire Navion series suffered from a general lack of attention in the 1970s and 1980s, they were definitely popular subjects in 1940 and 1950s literature. At present, the the type is undergoing a minor resurgence of interest.

If you have a magazine article in which any version of the Twin Navion is included as a major topic, we'd appreciate it if you would contact us and help share a copy.

The first pilot report on the D-16. Oddly this article was written in a letter format and utilized a combination of photographs of prototype N91793 (NAV-4-532) and the first TEMCO conversion, N4366K (TTN-1). Also mentioned is N4299K (TN-11).

A short news piece announcing the transfer of D-16 from Riley to TEMCO. This is interesting as the production change came in 1953, and the photo that was used is of N28N (TTN-26), which was about half way through TEMCO's D-16 production. Click here to read.

Although the colourful cover of 'Flying' Magazine featured an equally bright WE-1 prototype N99W (101), brief mention was given in an article about tip tanks. Several pictures of the first production Camair, N4363K (1-050) and a brief article about the Camair entering production were also included.

Incidentally, Camairs employed modified napalm tanks manufactured by the Fletcher Aviation Corp. D-16As used tip tanks custom-made by Brittain Aircraft Enterprises. Click here to read.

Although most of this article focuses on Gerry Stauffer's 300hp single Navion, Ken McTavish's D-16A, C-FNHN (TTN-61) was used as the camera platform and also appears within the article.

Authored by Plane & Plane magazine, this directory is a compellation of short histories of most light aircraft. It includes the canopy Navion, the Rangemaster, and the Camair. However this one falls into the same trap of using a photo of a D-16 instead of a real Camair - in this case the Dauby prototype, N91793 (NAV-4-532).
