She is an old glider tug from the war. The rear tail cone is missing to accommodate a tow hook assembly. Beautiful Bird !

Recovered many control surfaces for these baby’s Grade A fabric number 9 rib lacing cord and many gallons of nitrate dope

First and only flight on DC3, Allegheny Airlines from ERI to EWR, also 1956. So exciting for a 10-year-old flying alone.

You cannot improve on perfection.
I was fortunate to work on the South African Air Force fleet of DC3's a long time ago. We modified them for all kinds of roles.
Even for high altitude photo reconanance, the pilots had Oxegen masks and heated suits.

First DC3 flight. Right out of Army basic training in 1966. One leg of my trip from El Paso to Dothan Alabama. New Orleans to Dothan on a Delta DC3.
