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.

This Lodestar is ex N102V and it was donated to the museum by owner Gary Larkins in 1984. Until recently it was on display as 1373 of the South African Air Force, which was historically correct (it served as such with the SAAF from 1940 until 1945). It is seen here being prepared for a repaint, with the serial and most of the paint already removed, but the SAAF markings still present. By 2014 it had been repainted as "254" of the SAAF, which unfortunately is a fake serial.
