First C-82 Packet Transatlantic Flight

Post by Pete »

'Hello All,
My Uncle Bill(COL William F Mandt III USAF, now deceased) made the
first ever trans-Atlantic flight in a C-82 Packet. I visited him at
Fort Bragg and he took me aboard a C-82 and the then new C-119. Does
anyone here remember or know of him?
