Silhouette challenge
Hi all, not visited here for a while. I've been working on a new 'name the a/c' to test your skills. This time, no pic of the a/c just the silhouette.

Good luck...............

Douglas C-74 Globemaster I. The civilian version, had it been built, would have been called the DC-7.
