Sorry to ask the question again but I cannot ID another airplane. This is sitting in a field in back of the Commemorative Air Force hanger in Midland, Texas. The structure is mostly wood and in very bad shape. It was twin engine airplane but I have no clue as to what it is.
"The Director also sets the record straight on what would happen if oxygen masks were to drop from the ceiling: The passengers freak out with abandon, instead of continuing to chat amiably, as though lunch were being served, like they do on those in-flight safety videos."

Thanks again.
Looks like a Junker, but I really have no clue. Are you going to rebuild it or something?
What will be eventually done with this Cessna AT-17 will be up to the Confederate Air Force. Personally I would love a rebuild as unlike the Beech 18, they are few survivors.

Thats a UC-78 Bobcat. As far as I can tell. A Bombardier/Gunner/Navigator/Pilot trainer (every type of training imaginable in WW2). Bob Collings of the Collings Foundation (B-17 "Nine o Nine" and B24 "Dragon and his Tail") has one up in Stow, Mass. Its referred to commonly as the "Bamboo Bomber" as was the Beech 18. . (if not the same aircraft, then VERY similar) Also known as the AT-17 Kansan.

There is a gentleman who lives in a town about 40 miles from me that has a Cessna Bobcat. He told me that there are only about 20 of these airplanes left. Too bad that this one is just sitting outside.
