35682 (MSN 28961) served in Korea with 17th BG (Light), 37th BS. All black with "Cough Drop Special"
painted on nose A sore throat or common cold rarely qualified crew for a DNIF (duty not involving flying) slip.
The aircrews made a habit of carrying a box of "Smith Brothers" cough drops, with pictures of the bearded Smith
brothers staring sternly across the cover of the box at each other (seems to have been the only kind carried in
the local BX). Military organizations are always looking for publicity other than their ability to kill and destroy.
Each squadron strives to get "one up" on his fellow squadrons, each Wing tries to get "one up" on its fellow
Wings, etc. It is not known in whose fertile mind the idea originated, but the thought of a "Cough Drop Special"
mission soon arose in the 37th Squadron, when he realized that they had Smiths across the aircrew spectrum.
A low level road reconnaissance mission using a crew that were all named Smith was organised for the night
of 19/20 April 1953. It was a very ordinary mission. They flew to Mike Roger (the low frequency splasher,
where they were required to check inbound) turned to the northeast and started a descent over the Iron Triangle,
until they picked up Sepo'ri. The crew cruised the routes at 1200 feet seeking targets. They expended the
ordnance, were shot at by the enemy at Sepo'ri, Singosan, Anboyn and Hoyang. The results were four vehicles,
two big secondaries at Singosan and a fire started at Anboyn. After they had expended the bombs, the crew
made strafing runs. After they had exhausted the wing gun ammunition, they made one low pass from
northeast to southwest along Red 11, climbed up to 7000 feet over the Iron Triangle, headed for Mike Roger,
then back to base. (RB-26C) USAFE. 30th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron (Night Photographic), 66th Tactical

35752 (MSN 29031) Rolled of the line in 1945 too late to see action in WWII, but remained with the
Air Force, being redesignated B-26C in 1948. At sometime converted for training as a TB-26C until
retired to Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ in April 1958. Most likely it was with Air National Guard units
during that time. It was purchased by the Rock Island Oil & Refining Co. of Wichita, KS, and
registered N8627E. They started converting the plane to a Monarch 26 executive aircraft but
did not complete the conversion and it was left in open storage at Hutchinson, KS, until 1962
when it was sold to Hamilton Aircraft of Tucson, AZ. In February 1963 it was sold to Donaire, Inc
of Phoenix and converted into a fire-bomber, a duty in which it continued until it was finally
retired. Meanwhile, in 1970 it was sold to Thomas W. Hammon of Phoenix, and in May 1972 it
was sold to Kenting Aircraft of Toronto and registered CF-KBZ. Conair Aviation of Abbotsford, BC
took over the plane in August 1973 and in 1979 had to change the registration to the new
version, C-FKBZ. The firefighting life ended on 1/15/88 when the plane was sold to Canadian
Warplane Heritage in Ontario. They kept it for just over a year when on 5/8/89 it was sold to
Courtesy Aircraft of Rockford, IL and registered N81797. By then it was marked as a WWII aircraft.
Courtesy sold it to Vern Rayburn of Boston, MA in 1989, and in 1991 he placed it in storage
with the Flying Tigers Warbird Restoration Museum at Kissimmee, FL. In March 2006, Mr. Rayburn
donated the plane to the Carolinas Aviation Museum at Charlotte, NC

35948 (MSN 29227) This plane left the production line after WWII ended so the Army Air Force took delivery
in October 1945 but sent it directly to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation at Kingman, AZ,
on 10/26/45 to be sold. It was first purchased with 21 others by Charles H. Babbb of Glendale,
California, who sold them all off as a dealer. This one was registered NL67164, and was ferried
to Glendale. In 1954 it was sold to Stanolind Oil & Gas Co. of Tulsa, OK, as N67164, and
in 1961 it was sold to Pan American Petroleum Corp. of Tulsa who registered it as N1244.
Both companies used it as a corporate aircraft. Pan American had the plane converted by
On Mark with wing tip fuel tanks and spar modifications. On 5/31/65 the plane was sold to
Standard Oil (Indiana) in Chicago, who sold it to Nine Ten Corp, also of Chicago, who
registered the plane as N910H. They sold the plane in 1966 to an unknown owner who landed
the plane gear up in Tulsa on 7/6/67 due to a malfunction of the hydraulic system.
On 9/10/68 The plane was acquired by the Hamilton Aircraft Company of Tucson, AZ, and
registered N161H. Motorola Inc. of Scottsdale, AZ, became the next owner in 1969, and
they installed a side-looking radar belly antenna. It was then taken over by Grumman Ecosystems
of Bethpage, NY, for electronic survey work. On 9/5/74 the plane was sold to Associated Products
of Cape May, NJ. The registration was canclled on 12/17/74, and apparently the plane was
withdrawn from service. In July 1975 the plane was registered C-GHLX by Conair Aviation Ltd of
Abbotsford, BC. They had the On Mark tip tanks and spar modifications removed, and converted
the plane to a fire-tanker. On 7/15/87 the plane was sold to Air Spray (1967) Ltd at
Red Deer (later Edmonton) Alberta. In 2007 the plane was withdrawn from use at Red Deer
and put up for sale. On 5/19/90 the plane was taken over by the Champaign Aviation Museum
and registered as N381EC on 6/19/90. It is based with them at Urbana, OH. It had served for 64 years!
