I think this was the most beautiful DC-3 that I ever saw. Unfortunately I don't have it in color. It is ex Wright Cyclone-powered American Airlines DC-3-178 NC16013, later converted to Pratt & Whitney-powered DC-3A and operated by the Mexican Federal Commission for Electricity. The aircraft's name simply means "The Torch".

I photographed this plane, BuNo 0972, here in 1938 at Oakland when it was still in service with the Navy, and again in 2012 at Schellville, CA. I think that is a record for the same photographer and same plane 74 years apart.

This has been over a year in the planning and it finally all came together on this day. I photographed this plane in 1938 at Oakland when it was still in service with the Navy, and again here in 2012. I think that is a record for the same photographer and same plane 74 years apart.
N20RW has been rebuilt by Christopher D. Prevost, owner of the Vintage Aircraft Company at Schellville, California. He purposely painted it in the markings of my 1938 photo and it is a very accurate job thanks to the input of Rich Dann and others. It first flew in September 2012 shortly before this photo was taken.

Photo 2 of 3 (see here). Suddenly the plane dropped and hit the pylon as the cables were slacked off. The reason was that the crane was tipping over and about to fall. It can be seen in the upper left hand corner.
