Thanks for the insights guys. Obviously, my Uncle spent many hours in one. He did mention his was fitted with a couple of cots, so he could get some in flight sleep.
From your descriptions, it couldn't have been comfortable sleep. I can only imagine how risky it was, flying in one that far north.
One of my memories of my Uncle was in Washington D.C. We went there as a side trip on the '57 Boy Scout Jamboree. Took me, a 12 year old in his BSA uniform, on a tour of his office in the Pentagon. Boy, was I impressed!
