File Description:
This repaint is for the FSX version 1.1 JBK Boeing 307 Stratoliner and is in dds format. In early 1942, the USAAF impressed all five of TWA's SA-307B Stratoliners, making modifications to extend their range, using them as VIP transports under the C-75 designation. These aircraft served until 1944 in the Air Transport Command with their TWA crews. They were rebuilt that year as SA-307B-1s and returned to TWA. Navajo (c/n 2001) was impressed as 42-88627. In Feb 1942, surveyed the Air Transport Command southern route from Washington DC to Cairo via Natal Brasil. The following month carried Generals Marshall, Eisenhower, Clark, Col. Vandenberg, Admiral Towers, Averill Harriman, and Harry Hopkins, across the North Atlantic to England on a VIP "all brass" flight. Returned to TWA in July 1944 and rebuilt as SA-307B-1 N19909.
