This C-47 was allocated to the USAAF as 42-108808, but it never served as such. Instead, it was immediately transferred to the US Navy as BuNo 17106. After a civil career with the FAA and the US Department of Agriculture, it was delivered to Dyess AFB in 1986. It was initially displayed there as USAAF 42-108808, but in 2011 it was painted in these false "Jungle Skippers" markings as "43-15460". During WW2 the "Jungle Skippers" name was adopted by the men of the 317th Troop Carrier Group, after it was given to them in a World War II news article.
