This C-47 was built at Long Beach and was TOC with the USAAF as 41-18650. It later became I-VARO and then I-LICE (as a result of being left in Italy after WWII?) before joining the Aeronautica Militare at some point. After being SOC the plane was stored for some years at Rome - Guidonia (LIRG) before joining this museum in the Alsace region of France. I would be happy to add dates if anyone has more information.
