The Noorduyn Aircraft Ltd., founded by Robert B.C. Noorduyn, was established in Canada in 1935, taking over the Curtiss-Reid factory outside of Montreal, Quebec. Work soon started on the Noorduyn Norseman I. Versions II through VI followed until early 1946, when the company was acquired by the Canadian Car & Foundry (CCF) company. During WW2 Noorduyn began producing Harvard trainers for the RCAF, production of which continued under CCF after the takeover. In May 1953, CCF sold all rights to the Norseman to a specifically formed company, Noorduyn Norseman Aircraft Ltd., which continues to provide support to the currently operational aircraft.
