Tail markings have faded, but serial "477575" and code "Dinjan - 13" can still be read. Dinjan refers to RAF Dinjan in India, which from 1942 until 1945 was used by the USAAF Air Transport Command as an auxiliary airfield to nearby Chabua, and where a few transport units were based. The badge next to the roundel says "Air Transport Command - Army Air Forces". Also note the "Tiger Fleet" titles on the fuselage. This Curtiss Commando is ex N54510 and was donated to the museum in 1983 by Fred Patterson III.
