42-65414 was the only C-74 used on the Berlin Airlift, landing at Gatow for the first time on 17 August 1948, carrying 20 tons of flour. The aircraft made six round trips from Frankfurt within 24 hours on 18 September, carrying coal, but was withdrawn after only 25 trips in six weeks, being too dissimilar from the regular aircraft flow. It was then used to transport C-54 engines and parts from the USA to Germany. Photo from: Imperial War Museums This photo was added on 8 May 2023, and has since been viewed 855 times. |
