[edit] The Italian Job appearence?

I have a feeling that's a C-74 Globemaster being used to transport the Italian gold that gets stolen in the original film of The Italian Job but I may be wrong. If correct, then as one of the lesser-known aircraft types it may be worth adding it to the article under a 'Trivia' heading. Ian Dunster 22:08, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

There are lots of references on the web that confirm that. For example: http://www.air-and-space.com/Douglas%20C-74.htm "globemaster italian job" in Google returned over 9,000 hits. Dabarkey 02:38, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
