: Bob Hannah is selling several of his aircraft including hi

: rticle about the Douglas World Cruiser "New Orleans" which
: has been on display at the Museum of Flying. Although t
: he plane is not for sale, a suitable new home is needed fo
: r this historic air frame and the editor of the magazine s
: uggests the USAF Museum ship it to Dayton.

This DWC spent many years at the USAFM...it would be great to see her return. It is ashame that she wasn't kept in a better state...as I understand it the airframe has deteriorated due to a lack of climate control.
