Beechcraft 18 (aka Twin Beech)

Peter, there's a whole paragraph repeated in this article. Otherwise, good work.

Thanks Onetrack. Done in a bit of a hurry because I had to go out and be back at a certain time. Copy and paste is playing silly beggars. The same photo was in twice as well, which I saw and corrected, but I didn't proof read to pick that up. Problem now resolved. 

Another very special aircraft........sigh...........)

As strong as a Malley bull. Able to fly through storm, tempest and Coca Cola billboards. But then, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Here's the pilot for that product placement sequence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Tallman

I'm sure it isn't a two pilot plane. There's controls for two but is flown by one They are built strong and heavy. The Empty wt to max weight   ratio is pretty grim . You'd be flat out making money with it, but it's a REAL plane. Nice IF you had the money to run it. Nev

The notes say the specs are for the UC-45 Expeditor variant which is a military variant. Specs from  Jane's Fighting Aircraft of World War II. as used by Wikipedia. Maybe it's the miliary spec which requires 2 pilots. I cross-checked with another source I use, all-aero.com, which has specs on a number of variants. They list either seats in total (eg. 7 seats), or crew :2

Any operator can require two pilots but the minimum is ONE as it is on most twins with less than 11 passengers..If you read much from pilots who have flown the Twin Beech, you will notice they all fly single pilot unless they are doing a check. The POH will confirm what I say. and IF you are in the RHS  unless the operation stipulates a Co pilot is part of the normal operation, you can't log the time. Occupation of a seat with controls requires it's own precautions be observed if you are a passenger. Even a King Air is certified single pilot as is the turbo prop Banderante.. No one would ever purchase a B 18 IF it required two qualified pilots. every time it went into the sky.'

  The Focker Friendship  F-27 operated single pilot in some countries with what was called a radio operator in the RHS and that carried over 30 passengers. Nev

I am not disputing what you say, it's just that is what my sources say. If you look at the heading photo and the last photo, it could be argued that they have two pilots.

Those pictures show a pilot and person sitting in the right hand seat. The first one suggests a pilot undergoing instruction, going by the clothing. The last one is indeterminate. I'd guess that it shows two people wearing similar polo-neck shirts
