JosephLalor Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Skytrain's associated with C-47 in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stromness Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) A. It‘s black and white B. The Skytrain was a C-38, not a C-37 😎😄 Edited May 16, 2019 by Stromness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaudioN Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) from Wikipedia: Electra 10-A Powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior SB, 450Â hp (336Â kW) each; 101 produced. One built as Y1C-37 for the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, redesignated as C-37 in 1938 and as UC-37 in 1943. Â That settles it: 1) the D-Day invasion was led by the Chief of the US National Guard in a single airplane 2) the Electra was built by Douglas, not by Lockheed ...and these use to be called "alternative facts".

hsr Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 On the inside of the envelope they do refer to it as a C-47, but someone needs to write "I will proof read the envelope" 100 times 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsr Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Yep that's it. I already threw out the flier with the recycling. Seems a bit high to me and I am not sure what the purpose of the Certificate of Authenticity is, And yes the OD/NG don't look right to me.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good that the truth is finally uncovered and settled. But you should have waited just another three weeks... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
