Photo Comment

A troop carrier in North Africa as 42-32832, this C-47 went to the Reconstruction Finance Corp in 1946 for disposal. Converted to a DC-3C, it flew as NC75412 and N5106 for General Motors until 1967. Pictured at the 1986 DC-3 50th Anniversary Fly in, the aircraft is currently part of the Mid America Flight Museum collection in Mount Pleasant, TX.
