Description:

American Airpower Heritage Fly Museum. Sentimental Journey rolled off the Douglas assembly line in late 1944, and was accepted by the Army Air Corp on March 13, 1945. Manufactured too late to see service in the European war, the aircraft was assigned to the Pacific theater for the duration of the war. In 1947, the aircraft was removed from storage in Japan and assigned to Clark Field in Manila as a photo-mapping plane. For nearly three years she served in that capacity, flying to all corners of the Pacific in the configuration of a RB-17G.

Zaujímalo by ma, ako je to s niektorými náhradnými dielmi, napr. pneumatiky, existujú na to v Štátoch špeciálni výrobcovia, alebo sa "len" zoberie odpovedajúci rozmer z iného lietadla? Tieto nevyzerajú ako tie, co sa používali v WWII. Opravte ma, ak sa mýlim :-)

Dnes bude teplíčko. Stahlhimmel, plechový nebe, jak se to asi říká v Americe?
Ty motory, to je kvarteto!
