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

Approaching over a fortified beach on Kinmen (Quemoy). Shelling of this island by PRC artillery on the mainland started on 23 August 1958. According to online sources the island's old airfield on the west side closed that day, to be replaced by the current Shangyi airport (RCBS) at an unspecified date. Details about the airframe unknown - it seems to wear a FY 42 serial with six sequential digits but it cannot be deciphered. Photo by: John Dominis / Life

Towards the end of the First Indochina War in 1954, the USAF sent a maintenance detachment to assist in the upkeep of French C-47s at Do Son, near Haiphong. After the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu, four C-46s of the 315th Troop Carrier Wing, based in Japan, were sent to Do Son to carry out an evacuation if necessary. The small coastal airfield was a 'very poor strip' of steel planking. 44-78381 crashed on 14 June after its landing gear struck the seawall on approach. The aircraft was written off. The Americans quit Do Son on 29 June.

Returning to the area at the rear of Buffalo's Yellowknife base having completed a trip, with engines just winding down. Note the unusual lower case letters of the registration. In the 1960s, spent five years on lease from Capitol Air to Lufthansa, whose logo is still carried on its nose.

With an orange Buffalo logo on its fin, catching the early morning sun outside the Buffalo Airways hangar at Yellowknife Airport. Later sustained substantial damage , in November 2012, due to a left main gear collapse on landing at Yellowknife. Then in September 2015 suffered engine failure some way short of its flight destination, Norman Wells. Unable to maintain altitude, a forced belly landing had to be made on the gravel airstrip at Déline in very poor weather conditions. The aircraft considerably overran the runway. The crew evacuated safely. The aircraft was a write-off.
