Sad to hear this. I have a handful of copies. The sound and look of large prop transports have always seemed more interesting to self than pure jets. Even five years flying Brits didn't seem as cool as the DC7c or especially the 1649 Connie. ( only managed once Malta, in the back of a 749 Connie ) As a child, flew in BEA DC3s and Vikings. For most UK aviators, it was other way round, but swapped from ( elderly ) jet to Merlin, which was a bit of a shock after a half day course. P.S., I've found my two or three best illustrated propliner type books/magazines in UK charity shops. Maybe, the propliner enthusiast generation are beginning to drift away, and occasionally wives are having a clear-out.......
