This is nice but what is it and what was it for???

Hi Dutch,

The Lockheed Corporation engineers mentioned above submitted and were awarded this patent for the C-130 Hercules basic design. Over the years there are many other patents related to the details of what the aircraft is made up of, but this one shows the original design concept. The patent has long since expired; it is now part of the public domain. For some, it may have historical value giving credit to the design engineers and their innovative invention.

Casey,

 Sure you can add it to the files section.

Robert
