A skin for Milton Shupe's Lockheed 18 Lodestar, depicting a U.S. Navy R5O-3 that was purchased in 1941 as the personal aircraft of Rear Admiral John H. Towers, Chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics. It displays a late non-standard variation of the Navy's pre-war "VIP" livery, with "Admiral Blue" applied to the cowlings, nacelles and vertical fins rather than to only the entire fuselage as the specification called for. As with other large all metal, land based transports like the R2D, R3D and R4D, overall polished bare aluminum replaced the standard color scheme of silver paint with yellow wing upper surfaces.
