Do you know if there is a DC 3/C-47 Dakota site where I could go fishing for gen on this one ?

Thanks again, anyway.

That is the only reference I could find however Kyt my be able to draw on his resources to effect a better result.

By the way, tell us a bit more about yourself and if you would, how you found us. (We are doing a bit of research)

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
