Re: New Osprey on US C-47/R4D Units

No, I have not seen a photo of this aircraft nor does one appear in the usual sources on this outfit, Jon A. Maguire's Gooney Birds & Ferry Tales and the post-war 302nd Transport Wing History. The Maguire book does have a few details on this event, which killed 1 LT Theodore Garland (pilot), 2 LT Daniel Lardin (copilot), SSGT Paul Weltner (radio), and SGT Charles Miller (crew cheif).
