• 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.

Chicago%20&%20Southern%20Lockheed%2010-B.jpg


The above is a rare photograph and illustrates a Lockheed 10-B which Chicago & Southern
acquired from Eastern Air Lines in 1937 to augment the fleet of new ones it purchased from
Lockheed the previous year. The more commonly illustrated image of one of these (NC16022
- c/n 1057) appears below. The Electras were the "latest thing" in luxury air transport at the
time and their introduction was a sign of how well Carleton Putnam's service was being received
on "The Valley Level Route" between Chicago and New Orleans. The Electras were to soldier
on until replaced by the DC-3 in 1940. C & S's color scheme was an orange cheatline and nose
cone outlined in black.
