Auto Credit Based on MrSilverWolf's Fairchild C-119

this is the plane supposedly made in the original version of "The Flight of the Phoenix" starring Jimmy Stewart. It was built out of C-82 Packet parts in the movie, but the plane built behind the scenes did not match perfectly with the design. this is what it should have looked like (though I could not figure out how to do the bracing.)
