C124? Old Shaky had to spend a lot of time in the air, it was so slow!

Except when it broke down on Wake or Lajes or Goose Bay. It never broke in
Spain, HI, Japan, Germany or home.

Slow? Slow? Not compared to a C-47.
I once got a groundspeed of 270 knots in Shakey!

On second thought Lajes wasn't a bad place to break down.
