Note the name of Jack Curtiss in there. Lovely guy. Great C47 pilot. Flew P.40s as well

When I first looked at this I realised that my own father was referenced in the article as "second pilot".
Jack Curtis & Ron Austin as well as many of the crew mentioned on the last page all spent time in PNG with other families like mine.
I just spoke to him about this story - he said these planes were 'not very good to fly'.
Serendipity;
