Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar Undergoing Ground Servicing on an Airfield Ramp
A Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar sits on a rough forward airfield ramp while ground crews service its twin radial engines. Instantly recognizable by its pod-shaped fuselage and twin tail booms, the C-119 was a mainstay of American tactical airlift and paratroop operations from the Korean War through the early Vietnam era, delivering troops and supplies to austere frontline airstrips around the world.
