It's Time To Play..... Otterflogger's "Name That Cockpit"!

*MYSTERY SOLVED!*

It is a Curtiss C-46 "Commando"! "Anonymous" wins, good job, you seemed to know immediately. Have you had experience with C-46s? Mitchell B-25 was also guessed, sorry, you fell for my "trap" of mis-naming the picture. "Anonymous", you win the "entire contents of Don Imus' head"! Congratulations!
