I had not noticed the leakage stains under the nose of the first C-46. Perhaps the pilot spilled his coffee?

When I was a kid in the mid fifties, we could write to the aircraft companies and request photos. They would send a photo pack of several shots about 8.5 X 10 inches in size. Northrop only sent a photo of the P-61. Here are what Bell sent.
















Bell didn't have a lot going at the time.

This is the photo pack sent by Beechcraft. On the back of the photo was a three view with accurate dimensions.
