Photo Comment

C-47 44-76821 was delivered to the Royal Air Force May 1945 as KN547. Returned to the USAF in 1955, the aircraft went to the German Air Force in 1956. To the Swedish Air Force in 1975, it was struck off strength in May 1984. It had been with the Swedish Air Force Museum at Malmen Airbase since 1982 before traded for Spitfire PR Mk. XIX PM627 in the USA. The aircraft is pictured enroute to new owner Military Aircraft Restoration to be registered N5467Y. Sold as N56V in 1996, it has been preserved at the Tillamook Air Museum (Later moved to the Erickson Aircraft Collection in Madras OR).
