A skin for Milton Shupe's Beech D18 Twin Beech in the old Army Air Corps blue fuselage yellow wings & tail livery, as it appeared in 1939 in a pre-delivery factory photo published in an old AAHS Journal. Since the Air Corps was only using that color scheme on trainers and amphibians by 1939, we can only wonder whether it entered service in these colors, or if the Army made Beechcraft strip it to bare metal, the finish then specified for transports and tactical aircraft. The photo's 1939 date and the painting error suggest that this may have been the very first C-45.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.
