Multiple Bob's are Back
Shame on me (being the first Bob), for not posting in three months! Honest, I have been busy, primarily with heavy-duty household projects that had to be completed before the Florida Heat is upon us. Spare time was spent digitizing my DC-3 books and locating internet images. I have catalogued some 75,000 images for future reference in developing my art.
Unfortunately, I did not find many new images for today's subject, the C-41A with MSN 2145. This unique aircraft has an unusual history, and until recently seems to have been camera-shy.
When collector Robert (the second Bob) Pond acquired MSN 2145 in 1989, he had her painted to resemble the scheme applied to U.S. Navy aircraft during the beginning of World War II. Her nickname, "Miss Angela" honors his granddaughter (and was later applied to a Boeing B-17). I modified the previous release of this livery to reflect her appearance a year earlier than before, while she still sported the massive prop spinners. Her coloration has been revised as well. This livery will appear again, sans spinners, for a subsequent owner shortly.
