[Leica] IMG: Sunday at KTHA

[Ted Grant]

Hi Sonny,
On future flights they were the "OFFICER"seats. Even though I became an
officer I did little flying. Moved about more in 15 ton "STAGHOUND ARMOURED
CARS!" 
cheers,
ted

My recollection is that the bucket seats were simple metal pans along the
sides of the airplane interior, they had lips to keep you from sliding side
to side.  There were a few luxury class seats with actual cushions and back
rests.

USAF C-47 had rows of bucket seats along each side, utilitarian, but not
comfortable.  Must have been around 1952.
