Re: Roosevelt and Churchill in Russia 1941-1945

Roosevelt was only at the Yalta Conference and flew in VC-54C "Sacred Cow" from Malta to Saki on the Crimea. He had cossed the Atlantic on the cruiser USS Quincy.
The return trip was from Saki to Deservoir Field in Egypt, and then on to the USS Quincy.

Sacred Cow had serial 42-107451, but on the Yalta flight the fake number 42-72252 was apllied "to confuse the enemy". This latter serial was of a C-54A lost on 11 Nov 1944 near Oahu.

Regards,

Leendert
