EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a Vultee V-11G military transport plane takes center stage. The Vultee V-11G, also known as the "Vibrator," was a versatile aircraft designed and manufactured by Vultee Aircraft Corporation in the late 1930s. This particular model was initially developed for the United States Army Air Corps as a utility transport aircraft, capable of carrying troops, cargo, or even passengers. The Vultee V-11G is depicted here in all its glory, with its distinctive streamlined design and elegant curves. The plane's wings are adorned with intricate detailing, showcasing the meticulous engineering that went into its creation. The engine nacelles, housing the powerful Wright R-1820 Cyclone radial engines, are positioned neatly beneath the wings, giving the plane a robust and powerful appearance. The cockpit, located towards the front of the fuselage, is surrounded by a transparent canopy, providing the pilots with an unobstructed view of the sky. The cargo hold, accessible through the rear doors, is empty in this photograph, leaving ample space for the imagination to fill with the various cargo or troops that could have been transported aboard this versatile aircraft. The Vultee V-11G served in various roles during World War II, including as a troop transport, a cargo carrier, and even as a glider tug. Its versatility and reliability made it a valuable asset to the military, and it saw action in both the European and Pacific theaters. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the aviation industry during that era, as well as the enduring allure of the open sky and the freedom it represents.
