EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts Grumman C-1A Trader 146044, affectionately known as "Miss Liberty Belle," embarked on the USS Independence (CVA-62) during a stop at RAF Leuchars in the early 1970s. Originally built for the United States Navy as a TF-1 Trainer in 1962, this versatile aircraft was later redesignated as a C-1A Trader in 1962. From 1968 to 1974, Miss Liberty Belle served aboard the USS Independence, providing essential transport and flight training services. After her military career, she was placed on the civil register as N189G. This photograph captures a moment in time when history was being made, as the Grumman C-1A Trader continued to prove its worth as a vital asset in both military and aviation arenas. With its distinctive design and powerful presence, this aeroplane remains an iconic representation of the golden age of aviation.
