        Photo must be from a later flight. 1st FDR flight to Casablanca was aboard a Boeing Clipper, wider cabin, square windows. This likely the VC-54 Sacred Cow in 1945. Yalta?

        The Boeing 314 Clipper took FDR from Miami to Africa. The photo appears to be from the second leg of the trip, from Gambia to Morocco. That plane was a TWA C-54.https://www.airspacemag.com/daily-planet/the-first-presidential-flight-2901615/ …

        Yes. My hesitation re my earlier comment was how healthy FDR looked. He was much more gaunt in ‘45. This clarifies.

        First to fly? Wow. It seems so recent to me. (I'm old) But to hear he was the first to fly is strange.
