Edgar Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Historically speaking...It was Royal Canadian Air Force pilots and ground crew of 127 Wing RCAF who developed the "Beer Wagon" modification on Johnny Johnson's backup aircraft Except that the whole "spare aircraft" thing is a myth; he only flew it once, when going on leave, and it was cobbled together from several salvaged airframes, in fact it carried no armament. It would be interesting to know how wooden casks would have stood up to the pressure from sway braces, during flight, as well. Edgar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
