After the World War II ended in Europe, this C-47 went to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in June 1945. It was registered N74589 in 1949 to Seattle based West Coast Airlines. The aircraft was sold to local carrier Aerodyne in 1968 after West Coast merged with Pacific Air Lines and Bonanza Air Lines to form Air West. Other small carriers and private owners followed after 1984. Pictured at AirVenture 2019, the warbird had just returned from a double Atlantic crossing to participate in 75th anniversary D Day celebrations.
