Twin-Boom Transport Aircraft (C-119-type) Taxiing on Airfield Ramp, Vietnam War Era

A twin-boom C-119 Flying Boxcar-type transport aircraft taxis across an airfield apron in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. Aircraft of this design served as workhorse cargo transports throughout the conflict and, in gunship variants such as the AC-119 'Shadow' and 'Stinger,' provided close air support and night interdiction over enemy supply routes.
