Named the "Truculent Turtle", this aircraft set a non-stop flight record in 1946 when she flew 11,236 miles from Perth, Australia to Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio. She was in the final stages of a repaint during my visit to the museum. This photo is copyright © Ralph M. Pettersen, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
