A good print of a well-known picture of the first prototype of the Sturgeon reconaissance bomber for the Royal Navy, first flown from Rochester on 7 June 1946. The type only entered service as a the Sturgeon TT.2 and TT.3 target tug. The ugly Short SB.3 submarine hunter was developed from it.

"New Luxury Airliner: New giant of the airways, United Air Lines' five-mile-a-minute, four-engine Mainliner 300 has been making cross-country operational and training flights and visiting cities along United's coast-to-coast and Pacific Coast route prior to going into scheduled service about April 1. The Douglas-built luxury liner, commonly referred to as the DC-6, is capable of coast-to-coast flights in 8 ½ hours and will carry 52 to 56 passengers plus 5,400 pounds of cargo. United is taking delivery of 35 of these new postwar planes." (United Air Lines Photograph No. 241)

The PA-6 first flew in 1946. It had a all-metal tail and fuselage but the wing was wood with fabric covering. NX580 was flown until 1956 when it went into storage. But in 2009 it was reregistered as N390UZ to be restored. A second PA-6, c/n 6-1 NC4000M appeared in 1947 and was all-metal. It did not enter production.

The captured German cruiser Prinz Eugen sailed to the USA in 1946 with two Ar 196s on board. The ship's catapult was installed at Mustin Field and some test launches were carried out with spurious markings painted on this aircraft. These were simply copied from an old publicity photo of Ar 196A-4 GA-DX, c/n 0124. This airframe, really an Ar 196A-5 built by Fokker in Amsterdam, is currently in National Air and Space Museum custody for possible restoration. The other Ar 196 from Prinz Eugen is now back in Germany, at Nordholz.
