The DC-6, C-34 thru C-38, C-145, C-165, T-50 looks like a good list.
They all fit the time period. I discounted the DC-6 and T-50, because I
thought they would be a step up from a staggerwing. but maybe he loved
his staggerwing and didn't want to give it up. Do professional pilots fall
in
love with and airplane? :) I'll get pictures of the above airplanes and
run
by my aunt.


I don't know about that. Beech introduced the D17 series Staggerwing in
1937, the D17S had a 450 hp P&W R-985. I wouldn't consider moving from that
to a DC-6 or T-50 to be a step up.



I remember my "SKYKING" especially Penny but for the life I can't remember
the name of the boy. Come the thing of it, I think of what Skyking's name
was.
Uncle something?


The boy's name was Clipper. Uncle Sky's full name was Schuyler J. King.
The show was "Sky King".
