That’s great, B. I didn’t know that, and I poured over Pete’s memoir at various stages of writing China’s Wings. I’ll check Himalayan Rogue for the reference this morning. I’m curious how you fished it out…. are you a friend or relative of Pete’s? Cheers, Greg

Peter (Pete) G. Goutiere ferry delivered the new airplane, Miami to Calcutta in 1944 on a two-week, 90 hours of flying trip. Pete later joined CNAC. Panda Pete’s aviation memoirs, “Himalayan Rouge”, the second printing, are available direct from Pete, see the CNAC web page for contact information.

In reply to Gregory. We believe this flew as CNAC #100 and XT-20 between 1944 and 1949. Of course, we are still researching its history, so any clues you might have are appreciated! -Liz
