The Stinson SR “Reliant” was a high-wing cabin monoplane introduced in 1933. Its price of $3,995 was more affordable than its competitors, and it offered many appealing amenities: a large 4-place cabin, ruggedness, maintainability, reliability, and easy handling. The SR was especially popular among sportsmen, business executives, and bush pilots. During World War II, modified and more powerful Reliants, designated AT-19s, flew with the armed forces of Great Britain and the United States. The type was continuously refined and improved over the years, and many SR-series aircraft continue flying in the 21st century.
The Museum's Reliant was built in 1933. Its operational history is unclear, though unverified sources indicate that it was flown as both a landplane and a seaplane and may have operated in the Northeast and in Alaska. The Reliant was donated to the Museum in 1990 by owner Robert Richardson.
