Yes Mel, your are correct.
For the times, it was an advanced bomber design of all-metal construction. Too heavy and cursed with a structurally weak wing, only one DB-1 was produced. You have control.

Thanks Bri. Another very interesting challenge and aircraft. I will not be able to post a challenge until the morning in the UK. If anyone has one before then please go ahead and post it.

Quick stab Keith. The caption that came with this photo described dual controls for pilot and co-pilot. The throttles look a little different to yours, but maybe the DC-6?...

Noyade ! Yes that is correct, in fact the very same aircraft as your link N836D ! which I was lucky enough to fly from Opa Locka to St Maarten via Puerto Rico in earlier in the year ! as you say sycamore may deserve the credit for this !! Here is the landing at St Maarten !

I didn't even consult Mel's list, surprised to see the DC-7 not there.Sycamore?
