The C-45 is a military transport version of the Beechcraft Model 18, which began its 32 year production lifespan in 1937. It was the result of Walter Beech’s desire in 1935 to build a low-wing monoplane to compete with the commercial biplanes of the day, like the Curtis Condor.
​
The C-45 was first ordered by the U.S. Army Air Corps for use as a staff transport. It was continually modified throughout its production life with changes like increased seating capacity and a longer nose. A navigator training version was put in service as the AT-7, and a float-version was designated the AT-7A.
​
The Model 18 was further modified during 1941 as the advanced trainer AT-11, equipped with a small bomb bay, transparent nose section, and two .30 cal. machine guns. This variant was used for bombardier and gunnery training. A photo reconnaissance model, designated the F-2, was the final wartime variant of the Model 18 The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps also acquired more than 1500 Model 18s during World War II, with respective identifiers of JRB and SNB.

This is a perfect miniature wooden Hingham bucket--wide at the base than at the top. It was made in 1878 by Cotton Hersey of Hingham. Dimensions: 2-3/8 in. high, 2-5/8 in across base, and 2-3 in. across top.
Currently on display in the exhibit "Boxes, Buckets, and Toys: the Craftsmen of Hingham" at the Hingham Heritage Museum.
To kick the bucket is an English idiom that is defined as "to die" in the Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue (1785).
A common theory is that the idiom comes from a method of execution such as hanging, or perhaps suicide, in the Middle Ages. A noose is tied around the neck while standing on an overturned bucket. When the bucket is kicked away, the victim is hanged.
Another theory relates to the alternate definition of a bucket as a beam or yoke that can be used to hang or carry things on. The "bucket" may refer to the beam on which slaughtered pigs are suspended. The animals may struggle on the bucket, hence the expression. The word "bucket" still can be used today to refer to such a beam in the Norfolk dialect. It is thought that this definition came from the French word trébuchet or buque, meaning balance. William Shakespeare used the word in this sense in his play Henry IV Part II where he says:
Swifter than he that gibbets on the Brewers Bucket.
—William Shakespeare, Henry IV Part II
A third theory suggests that the origin of the phrase comes from the Catholic custom of holy-water buckets:
After death, when a body had been laid out ... the holy-water bucket was brought from the church and put at the feet of the corpse. When friends came to pray... they would sprinkle the body with holy water ... it is easy to see how such a saying as "kicking the bucket " came about. Many other explanations of this saying have been given by persons who are unacquainted with Catholic custom
—The Right Reverend Abbot Horne, Relics of Popery
Alternatively, in the moment of death a person stretches his legs (in Spanish Estirar la pata means 'to die') and so might kick the bucket placed there.
A fourth suggestion is that the phrase is related to one of the variations in the children's game of kick the can.
