Curtiss C-46

Posted by Cees Broere on Tue Nov 05, 2002 04:55:02 AM

Hi all,

Reading the previous topic about the C46F, we all know the Douglas DC3, but what about the Curtiss C46 Commando? While in the cinema a few days ago I saw an advertisment by Pall Mall showing a C46. What a magnificent sight and a remarkable looking aircraft as well.

The type did sterling work flying supplies over the Hump and is still soldiering on in South America, but other than the CAF who is flying China Doll, there seems to be little interest in this workhorse.

I wonder why one never was imported into Europe for display. Now that would be something
