Join the Quote Game, Volume 46

Looks like the regulars got sort of busy this afternoon to push Volume .45 over the magic 1000 post mark.

This volume of The Quote Game is dedicated in honor of the Curtiss C-46 "Commando", referred to by Army Air Force pilots flying "The Hump" over the Himalayas from India to China to keep Chiang Kai-Shek's Nationalist forces fighting the Japanese.

The C-46 received the nickname "Dumbo", after Disney's famous animated elephant, because although it could carry substantially more cargo than the Douglas DC-3, it was ill-handling and often mechanically unreliable. It also had a pudgy double-lobe fuselage that made it look a little like Dumbo.
