Entered service with the US Army Air Force around 1942 as 42-68830. Converted to a DC-3A and to civil owners from August 1945 onwards as N(C)45366. Made flyable after years of storage in 2001, operated by the Commemorative Air Force. The markings as seen in the photo were applied sometime between April 2016 and June 2019. Perhaps specifically for this 75th anniversary trip. This photo is copyright © Kas van Zonneveld, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
