Budd RB / C-93 "Conestoga" transport 1943
The RB transport plane was built mainly of steel, as an insurance against shortage of light alloys. The first prototype flew on October 31, 1943. About 800 aircraft were ordered by US Army and US Navy but there never was an aluminium shortage, so the need for the RB disappeared and only 17 aircraft were built.
