Sparky.

Nope. Not correct.

1. Made of and assembled using a radical material and process for the time.

2. Designed to a US Navy requirement and accepted in 1942.

3. High wing cantilevered monoplane.

4. Transport command.

5. Had everything "but the kitchen sink".

Taken too long.

Sparky seems to be the only one interested. Sooo ...

ANSWER IS: The Budd Conestoga.

Navy designation RB-1

Army Air Forces designation C-93.

Manufactured completely of stainless steel and assembled using the

"shot welded" method. I assume that's like the current "Spot welding".

I Looked at the Budd but I didn't think it matched the clues well enough. It was part of the beginning of the airline I retired from in 2017. Flying Tigers bought the Conestoga as their first airplane and they apparently ran out of parts/wore them out and crashed a few before they moved onto other planes. Then an upstart freight company bought Flying Tigers as they were about to go under and rolled them into Federal Express. I don't think more than a handful of Flying Tiger Airlines pilots are left on the payroll. You could tell if a pilot was from FT because they all had a unique employee number. Integrating the pilot seniority list was troublesome and I avoided that discussion with the guys that suffered through the process. I showed up in 1995 after all that happened but the scares were still evident.
