Brazil received 12 Cansos from 1943, some seeing active warfare against German submarines. They were later used for air mail and to provide vital services to remote Amazon populations. This example was supplied by Canada in 1949 and (Canadian serial 9752) and operated till as late as 1982 when it was retired to the museum.
