C-47 of 41 Troop Carrier Squadron of the USAAF's 5th Air Force at a remote airfield in PNG in 1943. Named "Queenie", it is being closely examined by a group of indigenous people as bigwigs pose for their photo. The aircraft survived the war only to be scrapped in 1947 after its arduous service. From Douglas 60 years ago. This photo was added on 26 September 2017, and has since been viewed 460 times. |
