    I presume at least some of the C-69s are being converted to 049s?

    An excellent airplane, often used in all-first-class configuration, but expensive to buy, expensive to operate, and with troublesome engines and, particularly, propellers.

    Similar problems the B-29 saw with closely related engines.

    Reading this digitally. Starts with the story of Grissom, White + Chaffee. This was before exploding hatch bolts were developed. Apollo's hatch swung into the capsule, and needed to be cranked open by the center astronaut.
    Poor bastards never had a chance.

    If I could own any two military aircraft it would be a Cobra and Warthog, with an endless supply of armament;)

    81 years ago… The death of a giant. On July 31, 1944, in the morning, the P-38 F5B coded 223 (mission 33 S 176, mapping East of Lyon) of Commander Antoine de Saint-Exupéry disappeared at sea.

    Trouble is not the ammo, it is finding something to shoot. Kind of rough on venison or beef.

    A company you don't hear much about: Republic Aviation. Here in 1945 with the P47 Thunderbolt and the XF12 Rainbow, one of the most beautiful piston powered planes of all time. The grand finale for piston engine planes.
