As 44-92847 , this C-47 was the lead aircraft opening the D-Day Invasion. It dropped paratroopers of the 101st Airborne behind Utah Beach just before 1AM on June 6, 1944. Sold surplus in 1946, it became NC88874 with United Gas Corporation. Pictured in the transient cargo area at Toronto, I did not have time to find out about the significance of the feathered propeller on the left engine. The aircraft was restored for the 75th anniversary of of D Day and is current with the American Airpower Heritage Museum at the time of uploading.
