About 6 months ago I came across mention of a Havoc variant known as the Havoc Pandora, or Havoc III
It was built upon RAF Havoc Is but featured a 2000ft cable with an aerial mine attached. 20 units were converted and used by No.240 Flight (redesignated No.93 Sqn). Eventually they were converted...

Hello,
I searched the forum and haven't found a thread about this topic, and it appears no one has discussed it in any other threads either, so here it is. Anyway, a while ago I was perusing Andreas Parsch's website and I found mention of the apparently obscure Douglas Arbalist in the missile...
Hi All -
I have had some communications with Dave Beigle (Douglas Artist - see: http://www.dave-beigle-art-enterprises.com/aviation-artwork-memorabilia/ ) and ordered some of his artwork. Looks like the prints are done on a home PC printer but the subject more than makes up for the quality...

Ever heard of the Douglas « Skybus »? I can hear you from here: "Of course! That was supposed to be a much-enlarged airliner derivative of the XB-42 Mixmaster..."
Well, yeah. But no. Not THAT Skybus. A couple of days ago I came across this eBay item, an article about ANOTHER Douglas Skybus...
Just put up a new article at RetroMechanix.com on these bizarre Douglas nuclear-powered transport studies which appear to use components of the C-133 Cargomaster:
Features two hi res blueprints and 3 configurations; check it out! Details on them are limited, so if you have additional...

There was an article in the Spring, 1962 issue of Air Progress by George Gerhardt called "Soldier's in the Sky" and it was through the courtesy of "Douglas Progess". Anyone know where I can find a copy "Douglas Progress"?
Here are the artist drawings that went with the article. Any ideas if...

With the recent Skysentry thread, we've seen a couple of variants of the DC-6 & DC-7 (I believe) variants, as well as the B-52 competition's Douglas dark horses jet powered bomber versions of the DC-6. I know there was the DC-4M Merlin powered & the Carvair ferry versions of the DC-4, firebomber...
