My friend, Marion L.(Hob)Hoblit of TAT/TWA also flew @ least one of them.

Mr Paul A Shaw do you have any information about how the cabin was outfitted, i.e. colors, cargo restraints PLEASE contact me. I'm the Son of a TWA pilot that flew them and the last flight. I'm constructing a legacy model for our children and want it to be accurate. Thank you.

Mr Shaw I would be very interested in obtaining copies of your Alpha restoration photos.

I helped restore this Alpha Airplane. I have some pictures that I took during restoration. When it left the TWA Overhaul base in Kansas City MO, it looked wonderful.
