The pristine condition of the C-46 would indicate this is at Buffalo where it was built for the Republic of China air force under lend-lease (USAAF 44-78627). Suffered a minor accident at Dakar on delivery. Repaired, it flew on to Cairo where it was damaged beyond repair on September 10, 1945. Photo by: Hans Groenhoff / Smithsonian Institution

The Ro.5 sport aircraft was built 'in large numbers', also for the Italian air force. Despite the fasces roundel, this seems to be a civilian plane. I-FIDO is listed as a Ro.5bis but the Ro.5bis had enclosed cockpits. Photo probably taken before the opening of the Aero Show at Olympia on 16 July 1929. It appeared in the Flight edition of 18 July.

Three examples were built of the Ba.79 four-seat cabin monoplane: I-ABFU, I-ABFT (c/n 78002), the nose of which is on the right, and I-ABFZ (78003). The latter two were to Ba.79S (Superiore) standard and ABFU seems to have been upgraded later. Seen on the far left are two products of the Compagnia Nazionale Aeronautica: the CNA 15 low-wing four-seater and the CNA 25, a parallel high-wing design. Photo from: Fondazione Fiera Milano

VH-EAP has been preserved at the Qantas Founders Museum at Longreach, Queensland, in this livery. It has carried six other registrations between the photo and today - VH-EBY, VH-SBG, P2-SBG, P2-ANP, N5590A and finally VH-BPL. Last registration cancelled in 1996. In 2004 trucked with some difficulty from Hoxton Park aerodrome - where it had ended its flying days in 1993 - to Longreach. Photo from: Whites Aviation Collection / Alexander Turnbull Library

When C-119s were first loaned to the French in Vietnam in 1953, US markings had reportedly been removed carefully, but that was clearly not the case during the Squaw II deployment in 1954. The second aircraft even still wears the 'Packet Rats' name of the 65th Troop Carrier Squadron. Another photo confirms that the first is tail number 9187 (full USAF serial 49-187). Note that the Flying Boxcars appear to operate without their clamshell doors. From 14 to 16 March 1954, two airborne batallions were parachuted into Dien Bien Phu. Photo by: Joe Scherschel / Life

The Z.501 Gabbiano (mew) single-engined military flying boat had long endurance, but wasn't very robust or seaworthy and suffered heavy losses during WWII. This modified Z.501, I-AGIL, set a seaplane distance record of 4130 km in May 1934, flying from Monfalcone to Massawa in Eritrea. A French seaplane flew 4335 km in June. I-AGIL then managed 4930 km (3060 miles) to Berbera, in Somaliland, in July 1934 - or Anno XII in the Fascist year count. Cantieri Riumiti dell'Adriatico (CRDA) was Cant's full name.

French Flying Boxcars - sort of! The USAF loaned some C-119s to the French forces in Vietnam from May 1953. They were flown by mixed Civil Air Transport (CAT) and French crews. 51-2541 was allocated call sign F-OYXB. It returned to Clark AFB, Philippines in July 1953, but here it is back in Vietnam in March 1954 during the Battle of Dien Bien Phu when the C-119s flew very dangerous missions.

French Flying Boxcars - sort of! The USAF loaned some C-119s to the French forces in Vietnam from May 1953. They were flown by mixed Civil Air Transport (CAT) and French crews. 51-2541 was allocated call sign F-OYXB. It returned to Clark AFB, Philippines in July 1953, but here it is back in Vietnam in March 1954 during the Battle of Dien Bien Phu when the C-119s flew very dangerous missions.
