As many readers are well aware, we have been following the restoration of combat veteran Douglas C-53 Skytrooper 41-20095, better known as Beach City Baby, for some years now. Jason Capra and his band of volunteers at Vintage Wings Inc. have been carrying out this work at their facility in Franklin, Pennsylvania, and their remarkable grass-roots effort has returned a near-derelict airframe into a pristine representation of how the airframe would have looked while serving in the North Africa campaign during WWII. Now in the final stretch of their marathon effort to return this aircraft to flight, Vintage Wings has initiated a small fundraiser to help them pay for some of the final items which they need before Beach City Baby can again take to the skies. Jason Capra provided the following details for what they are hoping to achieve.
