My Dad, Max "Jim" Breitenbach says that he worked in the structures section at Convair and helped to determine the correct size of tubing for the aircraft. He says that static analysis was inadequate, and he brought knowledge of redundant structures to the team.

My Dad, Max "Jim" Breitenbach worked on the design of this aircraft. He said that his job was to design a big door in the side so that the aircraft could take a stretcher and evacuate wounded.

Any chance I can get more photos on this aircraft and some history on who flew it? I am building a scale model of this plane and this paint scheme is awesome!
