Ex USAAF C-47A Skytrain 42-93736. Ex NC62568, as CU-T100 also served with Expresso Aero-Interamericano. In 1954 to Haitian AF / Corps d'aun de l Armee d'Haitii, s/n 3681. 02/28/2006. Remarks by Howard Jones: "In August of 1949, I accompanied my mother and grandparents on a trip to Cuba The plane shown was owned and operated by Aerovias "Q", a Cuban airline. Although I was only 2½ years old at the time, I can still vividly recollect the arrival as we waited behind a chain-link fence. As the plane swung around, its wind covered us with sand and sent hats flying into the air. An interesting side-note for history buffs is that this plane had very probably been co-piloted by Major Pedro L. Diaz Lanz who ten years later after serving a the head of Fidel Castro’s revolutionary air force would defect to the US and testify in Congress against Castro." |
