The C-124. My dad flew them. He was the first pilot to land a C-124 on the island of Pago Pago. It was in the late 1950s, and the native women still went topless and a normal thing. He said they stopped and had just feet to spare at the end of the runway. He landed with a full load of supplies for some troops stationed there at the time.
I'm curious why you mentioned topless native women. Did they somehow help stop the plane?
