Photo Comment

This C-47 was built at Oklahoma City and delivered to the USAAF in July 1944 and by March 1945 it had been assigned to 815th AAF Base Unit (Troop Carrier Combat Crew Training Station, TCC) at Malden AAF, Missouri. It then migrated around various bases and units within the US before being dropped from the inventory in October 1969. It is now on display at the super Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum at Ashland.
