    I don't know why they did not mention it, but this was Canadian Pacific Flight of DC-6B! Great historical film!

    These flight crews were absolutely awesome. Initially they all had to be registered nurses - don't know if this was true for this era in flight. One thing I miss is eating real steak off real china, and with stirling silver cutlery. Imagine that today - arming every passenger with a steak knife!

    Passenger conditions seem somewhat more humane than today's. Great mustache, Fred!
