Fairchild Model 24 (C-61 Forwarder, J2K и Argus)
Рост продаж машин серии Model 22-C7 побудил фирму "Fairchild" сделать его модификацию с закрытой кабиной. При этом аэродинамическую схему изменили на подкосный высокоплан. В увеличенном по высоте фюзеляже появилась кабина с двумя стоящими в ряд креслами. Также установили хвостовое колесо вместо прежнего костыля. Первый аэроплан Model 22-C8 оснастили лицензионным британским инвертным четырехцилиндровым рядным мотором ACE Cirrus Hi-Ace мощностью 95 л. с. (71 кВт). Большинство вариантов поставлялись на выбор с колесным, поплавковым либо лыжным шасси. Базисный самолет Fairchild Model 24-C8 сертифицировали в апреле 1932 года. Поначалу собрали только 10 самолетов, но они, как и в случае с Model 22-C7, вскоре привлекли к себе всеобщий интерес и новые заказы.

Although it has now been restored to the camouflage it wore when serving with the RAF, it carries the serial number EV851 allotted to a Liberator, whereas its own wartime serial was HB614. Its appearance at White Waltham recalled the aerodrome's close connections with the Air Transport Auxiliary, who operated the type from the station as a pool aircraft. Several hundred Argus aircraft were supplied to Britain under Lend-Lease from 1941. It also served in the as the Forwarder.
