One of the seven airworthy aircraft at the Lyon Air Museum. All look splendid, as if they were built yesterday. This C-47B served with the French Air Force since 1945, and then with the Israeli Air Force since 1967. It was sold as N791HH in July 2000 and ended up in storage at Ephrata, WA, until acquired by the museum in Aug 2006. Following restoration it was painted in these 97th Troop Carrier Squadron D-Day markings as "Willa Dean", with its original serial 44-76791.
