This aircraft is from Mather Field in Sacramento, CA, and carries the AAF training field letter "T". It's in front of Moffett Field's distinctive Hangar One, which was built for the USS Macon. The rare item about this photo is the placement of the aircraft serial number under the canopy. For a short time in 1941 and early 1942 some AAF training planes carried the serial number in this position instead of on the tail.

Flying over San Pablo Bay, CA, this was taken on a flight from Hamilton Field in an AT-6C to photograph the C-47D and an OA-10A from the Air Rescue Unit. I had a letter of authorization from Jane's All The World's Aircraft but was also in the Air Force Reserve at the time.

This photo shows a rare one-only version of the DC-6, with four-bladed Curtiss Electric props. They were intended as a replacement for the regular three-bladed Curtiss props on their DC-6s and Convair 240s, which suffered from severe hub cracking problems. However, prior to making a fleet-wide replacement, American decided to switch to the then-new high-activity Hamilton Standard propellers.
