The Cadet was first flown in 1938 and entered production in 1939. About 320 Cadets were built before the United States entered World War II in 1941, when the production was halted. During the war, some Cadets were used by the Civil Air Patrol for coastal patrol and liaison duties. After the war, many Cadets were sold to private owners and flying clubs. Some Cadets are still flying today as vintage aircraft.
