This C-119 flew with the USAF in the 1950s as 53-8151 and was based at Dreux/Senoches in France with the 12th Troop Carrier Squadron. At that time it bore the name "The Great Pretender". Its former USAF radio operator, the late Chuck Lunsford, provided me with this information. This photo is copyright © Fergal Goodman, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
