It certainly looks like it. I'm not sure that it makes sense to re-write it, since I didn't see a copyright notice on daveswarbirds, but it should at least be referenced/credited. Dabarkey 05:02, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What's to say daveswarbirds didn't copy WP? I doubt it, but it could go either way. --Colputt 17:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DC-4 / C-54;&c

First, I see no reason whatever to have one article on the DC-4, and another on the C-54. It seems far-fetched to make a sharp distinction between the two, being the same aircraft. I advocate their union. Secondly: I am too dumb to understand, let alone to carry out, the instructions for entering comments to the List of Accidents and Incidents involving the DC-4 (in the list, the two designations are, commendably, allowed each other’s company). Therefore I take the liberty to enter the following comment on this Talk Page: I miss the dramatic and unusual case of TF-RVC, a C-54 that crashed 14 September 1950 on Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland carrying freight from Luxembourg heading for (but not on course to) Reykjavík. The accident, a “CFIT” one, had a happy end, although the stewardess suffered back pain ever since and the captain had permanent face scars. The entire crew’s survival could be thanked a “Gibson Girl” 500 kHz hand-cranked Notsender. This particular accident might even deserve an article on its own.--Togifex (talk) 21:55, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
