Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Osa Johnson's Oberndorf Mauser Type A 9.3x62

Although you will see various promo photos of the Johnsons posing in the cockpit and with flying caps,
they were not the pilots and navigators of the S-38 and S-39.

That credit goes to Vern Carstens, Boris Sergievsky and Al Morway.

Boris was a chief-pilot for the Sikorsky Co.
