    The Fieseler Kranich from this timeline occupies the same role as the de Havilland Twin Otter from TTL and OTL, a high-winged twin-turboprop light STOL transport. The key differences are that the Kranich was intended as a Military Transport from the outset, so it has a rear cargo ramp, a glazed...

    Yes and no. Most airlines operate out of hub airports so to get from point A to B might require a stop at point C. That is why most flights across the United States have a stop in Chicago.
