Photo Comment

This C-47A was built at Oklahoma City and Taken on Charge with the USAAF as 43-48254. In October 1947 the plane started flying with Aero O/Y (the forerunner to Finnair) as OH-LCF 'Kyytipoika'. Its military career resumed in February 1960 when it went to the Finnish AF as DO-4. The plane was earmaked for preservation and by May 1982 became part of the (predecessor museum to the) Suomen Ilmavoimamuseo.
