The post-war boom in civil aviation translated into marketing success for Beech – more than 1,400 advance orders for new Bonanzas were placed even before the start of production. In March 1947, the U.S. Civil Aeronautics Authority issued its Approved Type Certificate for the Bonanza Model 35 and full-scale production of the new aircraft commenced. Above you see a Beechcraft Bonanza F33A of ATCA, just vacating runway 03 of Goodyear.
