Plaque for company's archives
The nameplate, at left, is from the DC-3 Piedmont is
helping to restore for the North Carolina Museum of Life
and Science in Durham. It will be mounted and, as a plaque,
added to the Company’s archives.
The airplane’s original Air Corps serial number was
41-20130. It was a C-53, manufactured by the Douglas Air
craft Company, and completed on March 20, 1942. There
were only 193 C-53s built.
On August 1, 1949, after being flown as an Air Corps
troop transport plane, it went to Western Air Lines and was
modified to a DC-3.
It was seven years later, January 12, 1956, that the
plane was purchased by Piedmont and became N56V. Char
lotte Aircraft had the plane from 1963 until 1978 when it
was moved to Durham to be restored for the museum.
This history of the plane will be engraved on a plaque
to replace the original three by three inch nameplate on the
right of the entranceway to the cockpit of Piedmont’s first
Potomac Pacemaker.
Progress pictures of the restoration project are on page
six of this issue.
