Great research, Carlos! I was glad to get that information about the DC-5s.

Kacper - As you know, it was not unknown for the U.S. Government to repossess aircraft from U.S. manufacturers that had been bought by foreign companies or governments. A famous case was a number of Seversky P-35s purchased by Sweden as J-8s and diverted to the Philippines. At the Air Force Museum, I saw a photograph of one of these aircraft taxying still in Flygvapnet markings.

Vinalssergio155 - I like the look of that Hornero and am glad to know that there is a Pacific Wind Airlines Dakota named after it.
