they made a difference in the world. But, the [U.S.]
Marines don't have that problem."

Very nice profiles of the Breguet 19! I was looking through one of my old books which happens to give a little history of this plane. A highly modified version of this plane, Breguet 19 TR (Transalantique) nicknamed "Super-Bidon" (huge gas tank ) was flown by Dieu-donne Costes and Maurice Bellonte from Paris to New York on September 1st 1930. It was the first East-to-West transatlantic flight. (37 hours, 37 minutes. 450 liters of fuel was left from the original 5,570 liters.)

Oh yeah, I found a lot of pictures of the big red monster...
I had a go at the Greek one (basically the French one re-coloured with new markings)
This is my new format: PNG file, and larger size too - I'm thinking to put all my planes on the Clavework site in this format...
