Does anyone know of any videos of the CCKW or Studebaker US-6 being manufactured? Seems like with all of the documentation of the war effort that there should be something out there...............any photos even? I have one photo of the Studebaker plant and thats all Ive ever been able to find: Suggestions any one?

They have a great selection of WWII stuff. Back in 81 I took one of their photographers up in a North American T6 Texan to film an airshow we were having in Victoria , Texas . The film was mainly based on the North American B-25 as there were five of them at that show, one of them was General Hap Arnolds B-25 during the war and was never made up as a bomber, but as an executive aircraft at North American. It later belonged to Howard Hughes. A lot of fun at that airshow.

I was offered that B-25 when it was parked in Maine 71-72, It belonged to an Air Force Sargent named Jay. He used to to fly to Maine from his last assignment in AK. One of the rich sons of richer parents. Looked funny tied up next to all them Piper Cubs. I used to fly, it was lots of fun and it was free, you just had to wear Combat Boots to have the chance. It got cold in those boots. I probably could have traded that B-25B USAAF Serial #40-038 for two or three CCKWs. Last I heard, Jeff Clayman owned it and it may be at the Cradle of Aviation Museum.
