Description

The Lockheed 14 Super Electra

The Lockheed 14 Super Electra was developed to provide passenger and cargotransportation service. Although of smaller capacity than its competitor, the Douglas DC-3, it had exceptional cruise performance. It was designed with special features such as Fowler flaps and leading edge slots to improve take-off and landing performance. The first prototype was flown in July 1937, and it subsequently led to the wartime development of the Hudson/Ventura bomber series. On April 1, 1939, Trans-Canada Airlines (now Air Canada) inaugurated the first transcontinental passenger and air mail service using two Lockheed 14H2 models.

The design on the reverse of the coin, by artist Robert R. Carmichael, depicts a Lockheed 14 in front of the Malton Terminal, near Toronto. The gold cameo portrays Zebulon Lewis Leigh who was awarded the Trans-Canada Trophy in 1946 for his exceptional achievements in both civil and military aviation. That same year, he was appointed CommandingOfficer of the R.C.A.F. Station at Goose Bay, Labrador, where he served until 1948.

This coin is the eighth issue of Aviation collection and contains 20 coins that have beenreleased between 1990 and 1999.
