And yet I wonder, on second thoughts I now plump for the C-87 version of the Liberator. Featured in Ernest K Gann's classic "Fate is the Hunter", and in which he nearly came to grief at Agra, narrowly missing the Taj Mahal after take off, due to being ever so slightly over-weight owing to a very understandable error in recorded fuel uplift and the fact that there were no fuel gauges fitted! Thank goodness such discrepancies are now a thing of the past!

....unless, unless...could it possibly be a Junkers Ju 290?
