What's this?

My first flight was from Santa Monica A/P to Long Beach, CA in a DC3 then


known as the Green Hornet. I was working for Douglas Aircraft in Santa Monica at the time in 1959, my first job out of VT. The Green Hornet was used on weekends to fly people from SM to Las Vegas. Fun and daring times:)
