Painted to represent an AC-47 'Spooky', in actuality the 37th Troop Carrier Squadron flew this Skytrain in WWII and airdropped 82nd Airborne Division soldiers during the parachute assaults of the Normandy invasion and also in Operation Market Garden. It served in another famous campaign post-war when it was part of the Berlin Airlift. Then taken on charge by the Turk Hava Kuvvetleri, it returned to the US in 1954 and joined the Indiana ANG, later transferred to the Ohio ANG. By 1979 it was on display here at Hurlburt in camouflage, as per my photo here for comparison

Delivered to USAAF 23 October 1943. Participated in Operation Overlord (D-Day, 6 June 1944). After WWII it remained in Europe and was used in the Berlin Airlift. Transferred to Turkish Air Force in 1949, returned to U.S. in 1970, assigned to Ohio ANG. On 9 June 1973 it was dedicated in the Air Park, having been modified to represent an AC-47D.
