Trivia: Due to wartime production demands, Journey was actually built by competitor Douglas Aircraft, and, despite it's iconic status as the face of the U.S. 8th Air Force in Europe, this one served in the Pacific and owes it's present day existence to being purchased off the lot at the famed aircraft "boneyard" at Davis-Monthan AFB in the late 50's to work as a firefighting aircraft. Had that not happened, she would have gone to scrap. |
