The C-133 had some pretty dramatic stall characteristics. TGhe most likely cause of their loss is a stall during climb at heavy weight, from which it was not possible to recover. See "Remembering an Unsung Giant: The DOuglas C-133 Cargomaster and Its people" for more information on all C-133 losses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872152719268138460.post-46462187698856618272008-09-02T19:35:00.000+02:002008-09-02T19:35:00.000+02:00My bad, your referring to AC-9, not AS-19.<BR/><BR/>So they turned around the name after AC-9 was lost, using the name on AS-19.jeromenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872152719268138460.post-83106815739889836082008-09-02T19:18:00.000+02:002008-09-02T19:18:00.000+02:00WTF? BULLSHIT!<BR/><BR/>Uh, I was on the Proteus. It was commissioned in 1941, and did not have a predecessor, it was the first Proteus the Navy named.<BR/><BR/> Amazing Nature wrote:1918, March 17 U.S.S. CYCLOPS -<BR/> This is one of the classic Bermuda Triangle disappearances. Volumes have been written about this vessel, and the more that come to light, the more confusing and mysterious it becomes. Two of her sister ships the PROTEUS and the NEREUS disappeared on almost the same route in 1941. The loss of those two ships was overshadowed by the onset of World War II. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/> Amazing Nature wrote:# 1941, November PROTEUS, U.S.S. -<BR/> Sister ship to the CYCLOPS and the NEREUS. Sailing from St. Thomas to Atlantic seaports. Lost with all hands.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/> Wikipedia wrote:Proteus was laid down by the Moore Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, Oakland, California, 15 September 1941; launched 12 November 1942; sponsored by Mrs. Charles M. Cooke, Jr.; and commissioned 31 January 1944, Capt. Robert W. Berry in command.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Funny how the ship gets from California to the Bermuda Triangle the same month it is launched?
