I received my FAA Multiengine Rating in a C45G at Embry Riddle at old Tamiami Airport in Miami the summer of 1963, fresh out of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division a few months before. Don Burnside, Chief Pilot, was my Instructor. RIP. I eventually logged over 8000 hours in 18's flying corporate executives fur International Paper Co out of Bates Field, Mobile, Alabama, tourists in the northern Caribbean and Bahamas, night mail in the winter in PA & NY, and freight out of Miami to the northern Caribbean and the Bahamas. The Beech 18 in all its variants is truly one of the world's finest, most durable aircraft. The Pratt and Whitney R985 radials are among the strongest, most durable and most dependable P&W built, and the Hamilton Standard 22D30 props are among the best ever built. I love that airplane!❤
Not a pilot but have had a life long love affair with airplanes and in particular those from the 30’s and 40’s. Love the Beech 18. Thanks for this video 👍🏻❤️
I had a friend who was in the Navy who was a Navy Airedale. He served over in Turkey !!! They had to take the black boxes out of the plane back to their barracks with them so that some other crew wouldn't steal it from them.
The digital video camera played tricks with the props. A couple of times, they looked to be rotating in opposite directions, but I don't think that was the case.
Believed all freight Dawgs logged 18 time...did my share Fresno FAT to Oakland nitely....but not in the mtns...SE alt about 5 thousand....did a run from SJC to salt Lake 4 sites wk but didn't wk out; can't fly all nite n wk a day job...
I aquired a cabin door for a C-45/D-18. It is in very good condition. I'd like to find it à good home. Do you know of anyone that might be interested. It has a round window and leather interior panel. Located in Glendale, AZ.
I've got lots of time in the "Twin Beech". It takes your undivided attention during taxi, takeoff and landing. Once in the air however it is one of the nicest flying airplanes. Typical of most Beechcraft.
You have a program called "Behind the Wings". I assume you shoot a lot of aircraft with propellers. So DON"T RUN YOUR SHUTTER ABOVE 60 frames per second! It makes the propellers look stupid, turning at a speed that couldn't possibly sustain flight, or curved in some impossible way, or even turning backwards! Shoot at 24, 30 or 60 for the American market or 25 or 50 for the Europeans. ALL American WWII footage was shot in film, which is 24fps, BTW.

We added timecodes to help find the history, walkaround, and flight scenes. Which parts do you want to see more of in Behind the Wings?

What a BEAUTIFUL C-45!!!!!!!
Beautiful piece of history.
I had 3 training flights for a total of 7 hours in what the Navy called the UC45J in Pensacola in 1967. It is a wonderful old aircraft.
How cool is that! :)

I think the FW-190 also had mostly electronic systems
merci
Post war were the C45's control surfaces still covered in canvas? ive seen photos of C45s and the surfaces seem to be shiny sheet metal.

Thanks for your comment. We are aware of the issue in this video and working to correct it in future scenes with very bright filming conditions
