| #5 AC: You have a good eye for aircraft. That is actually a Douglas B-18 "Bolo", Kissing Cousin to the DC-2 and DC-3. The vertical stabilizer is the same as a DC-3. First prototype in 1935. Violet was very camera shy and the woman in the picture could only have been her pilot.  |

| #4 Violet, born in 1887, would have been at least 50 when the second pic was taken. The aircraft is a military DC-3 variant, though probably not a C-47, which didn't enter service until February 1942 and was delivered in olive drab from the beginning. It could be one of the two C-41s, delivered in 1939. These were actually DC-2s but had DC-3 tails. In any case, Violet was as well-preserved as many of the still-operational DC-3s are today. |

| #1 Fred, am I missing something? It's 10:00 a.m. EST, and no one, especially GulfBravo, has commented on this picture! I look forward to, and enjoy, GulfBravo's contribution(s) to "Good Morning". |
