frustratedpilotHey.
I was so intent on putting the previous piece to bed I didn't mention anything about how I came to the answers to my little mystery. Well, this is about how it came down...
I did a few Google Image searches for pictures of the planes, specifying either the Fairchild or Fokker F27, and tried to limit my answers to American lines. Ultimately, this brought me to Airliners.net, with a side trip to a site devoted to the histories of Pilgrim Air and Bexair (http://www.geocities.com/bexair). The Bexair site has FAA registration numbers that I checked against the government's database (http://162.58.35.241/acdatabase/nnum_inquiry.asp).
As for the Fokker D.VII, I goofed...the markings weren't Udet's; they probably were supposed to be Herrmann Goering's. I haven't found any online pictures of that one and finding any website mention of that machine has been impossible so far.
Keep em flying!
