I have been going through my Dad's WWII love letters to my Mom - scanning them. In a letter dated April 15, 1946, he states that he just finished working on Mr. Wrighley's son's C-47 that they just bought for $57,000. And that Mr. Wrighley's son was going to take the guys who worked on the plane out for a beer party when the test flight comes up. My Dad was working at Love Field after he was discharged from the Army Air Forces where he worked on B-17s and B-29s. Later in 1946, he moved to Ft Worth to work on the B-36. I have some photos of plane with my Dad and some other guys standing by the port side engine. I would like to see some photos of the plane as it is today. Unfortunately, my Dad passed away in 1975 at the young age of 52. Thanks, Gorman W. Prince, Jr.
