| Art deJong artnedm@hotmail.com Edmonton, AB | I have a family photo, taken in Montreal in February 1952, which shows a small portion of the plane we flew on. Fortunately, the call letters appear in the picture (PH-TLW). Based on these call letters, I have determined that this plane was a Douglas C-54A Skymaster, Serial No. 42-107436 (KLM registry). While your web site includes a picture of a C-54A (U.S. Airforce), I would love to find a picture of one, commercially outfitted. Any ideas on where I could obtain such a picture? Thanks! 01/06/2002 @ 14:38 |
