Default C-124 Globemaster

VINCE: Do you really think that Donald Douglas would put a Boeing wing on one of his air-craft ? Shame on you! They used the B-50 wing on C-97. They all had a high aspect ratio wing, but the B-24 & C-124 used the Davis air foil which was patented. They say it was close to a perfect airfoil for what it would lift and still have low drag. The neatest thing I remember is a Lockheed demo pilot making a short field take off and shutting down #1& 2 engines then banking in to them while climbing out,our pilots stood there with mouths open. Isn`t this fun ? MAX
