Which DC3?
Thanks Tail Wheel, and especially for the pic - I have just come across Gavin Young's history of Cathay Pacific (Beyond Lion Rock) which is a great read, as the author has interviewed many of the old pilot's and hosties, including the original hump pilot who bought this DC3 from the US government and who was still alive in Texas (circa 1988), and has managed to thread the history into this personal framework which makes it lively and interesing.
There was apparently a cadre of Cathay pilots flying Ansons and DC3's in Burma for about five years post WW2, and many of their stories reflect the sort of 'adventures' we encountered in PNG in later years - a book well worth reading.
