It is not a coincidence that the United States of America sent their C-37 with serial '1944' to France during the commemorations of the 1944 Normandy Invasion! It is named 'Normandy' on the nose. Widely reported as 05-1944, but this is not correct. Ex N8VQ, 97-0049, N466GA. This photo is copyright © Gert Jan Mentink, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
