Globe GC-1 and GC-1A Swifts

– Compiled by Jim Montague –

Globe Swift GC-1 – Mfg. pre 1946 and aircraft manufactured as 85hp GC-1A’s in 1946, many have been converted to 125hp (or bigger engine) GC-1B’s. Some of these were sold as late as 1948, at least one is a “Temco” on the FAA records. Some are “Universal” All were mfg. by Globe. Continental C-90 engines are externally near identical to C-85’s and a GC-1A is still considered “original” with a C-90 installed.
