   I started prepping one of my Mach 2 C-123s the other day & I plan
to do several versions, like the engine-less XCG-20, the B-47-jet
podded one as well as the 2 versions offered in the Mach 2 box. The
C-123 seems to have been a pretty amazing a/c. Due to its TO & Ldg.
performance, I started thinking of 2 "what ifs". How about one in OD &
USArmy markings, as a big brother to the Caribou? Even better, a USN
version for COD. The only book I have on the C-123 is the Squadron 'In
Action' book. Anyone know of any other books on it? How about my what
ifs? To me they seem plausible, & if the USN at one time was looking at
a DC-9 for COD, surely the C-123 couldn't be that far-fetched. Anyone
know if my what ifs were considered at one time?
