[Leica] IMG: Restoration of "Mister Douglas" Continues

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks for looking, Montie.  This airplane has a colorful history, and 
is loved by skydivers who recall group jumps from it years ago.  It 
appeared in movies, and, IIRC, may have started out as the personal 
plane of Donald Douglas.
