I know this was probably posted before, but in case some haven't seen this collection of photos, it will dispose of a great deal of your free time.

Here's the poop on the CONNIE, grab something to 
L-1049H c/n 4801 f/f 9/20/56 del to Qantas Empire Airways as VH-EAM 'Southern Spray' off QAL service 6/62.
then Air New Mexico 6/62 as N 7776C
Leased by ALASKA 4/64 (shown is 1960's scheme of 'Golden Nugget') I remember seeing this one @ SEATAC a lot as a teenager. off ASA service 5/67.
Leased by LAER as LV-JHF then to TAB Transportes Aereos Bolivianas as CP-797.
Used in Biafrian air lift and eventually B/U 1972 @ KCMH.
I believe the FULTON B-17 is N 17W and used in the Bond Movie THUNDERBALL as well as TORA, cubed and MEMPHIS BELLE and now restored and @ MoF @ KBFI.
Was the double ended Tiger Moth the P.O.C. for CESSNAS 336/337?
