Applies to the Following DC-6 Airplanes: AAL Serial Numbers 42855 to 42858, Inclusive; and UAL Serial Numbers 42866 to 42869, Inclusive. \n\nTo be accomplished not later than next engine change. \n\nIn order to prevent possible injury to flight crew members, it is necessary to install a spring in the handle operating mechanism of both windshield corner window assemblies.

Repeat the foregoing operations for removal and installation of identical parts to 5243829-1 windshield corner window assembly. \n\n(Douglas Service Bulletin DC-6 No. 19 covers this same subject.)
