[Leica] IMG: From the 1930s

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Peter,

Thanks for the kind words.

In 1963, almost all airlines that were flying piston engined aircraft in the 
US were using either Martin 404s or Convair 240/340 series airplanes, with 
tricycle landing gear.  A few of the DC-3s survived on the short haul 
routes.
