Douglas C-47 Skytrain Naval Air Transport Service NATS 50819 Repaint 2024-06-25

The R4D-6 belonging to the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum was built for the Navy at Kansas City, coming off the Douglas assembly line during November 1944. The plane received USN Bureau number 50819 and was immediately assigned to the Naval Air Transport Service, Squadron VR-2, at Norfolk, Va. and was outfitted as an Admiral’s ship. She was retired at the Navy’s Litchfield Park storage facility in 1959. She was bought by MAAM, Mid Atlantic Air Museum in 1980. My repaint shows her as she is. My graphics are taken from the original aircraft. Thanks to Manfred Jahn for his great model!
