Design and development
Fairchild Aircraft was hit hard by the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] in the early 1930s as airline purchases disappeared consequently the company attention turned to developing a reliable and rugged small aircraft for personal and business use.
The [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] became somewhat of a hit and led directly to the new and much improved Model 24 which gained rapid popularity in the early 1930s, noted for its pleasant handling characteristics and roomy interior.

Having adapted many components from the automotive industry (expansion-shoe brakes and roll-down cabin windows), the aircraft was also affordable and easy to maintain.
In production continuously from 1932 to 1948 the aircraft remained essentially unchanged aerodynamically and internally, with the simple addition of extra passenger seating and optional equipment.

The first models were equipped with only two seats, but in 1933 a third seat was installed and by 1938 a fourth was added.
The interior was first created for the Model 24 in 1937 by noted American industrial designer [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
A minor airframe revision was made in 1938 with the redesign of the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and re-designation from C8 to F24G onwards.

In an innovative concept, the aircraft was available with two powerplants, [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]'s reliable [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and Fairchild's in-house 200 hp [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] series in the F24C-8-D, E and F.
Initially the 1932 model Fairchild 24C-8-B used a reliable and popular Warner 125 hp [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], and the Fairchild 24C-8-C used the Warner 145 hp radial.
American [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] were also occasionally used in some earlier Fairchild 24s. Later models such as the popular 24Ws upgraded to the 165 hp [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].

Designed for operations from relatively unimproved grass airfields, the sturdy [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] construction used a [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] above the wheel with a pivoting strut attached to the lower [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
The result was a complex but undeniably solid undercarriage that could absorb large amounts of shock and was also adapted for the fitting of [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] for water-based operations.

The sturdiness of construction of the aircraft has ensured many have survived to this day.
Some suggest the massive spruce main-spars can be loaded up to 10g, and while that figure is unproved, all pre-war utility category aircraft were designed to withstand at least 4.1[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] as opposed to the 3.8g post-war design limit standard.

The Fairchild 24 built by Kreider-Reisner Aircraft, Hagerstown, Maryland, a division of Fairchild Aviation Corporation, remained in production from 1932 to 1948, essentially the same airframe but with various powerplant and configuration enhancements.

Most of these aircraft saw service as Argus Is and improved Argus IIs and were allocated to a newly formed adjunct of the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] (RAF), the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] (ATA).
An additional 306 Ranger powered Argus IIIs were also used by the ATA.
In British service, the majority of the Argus type operated with the ATA ferrying their aircrew to collect or deliver aircraft to and from manufacturers, Maintenance Units (MU)s and operational bases.
