Douglas C-47 Skytrain U.S. Army Airborne Jump School 316074.zip 2024-06-05

Lawson Field, Fort Benning, Georgia, August 1946 – At the command of their jump leader these twenty-one students of the Airborne School climb aboard a waiting Douglas C-47 of the 75th Troop Carrier Squadron which will take them up for a practice jump. After losing its cargo the plane will return quickly and pick up another load of jumpers without waiting long enough to turn off its motor. My repaint shows this aircraft as she was. Images can be found online. Thanks to Manfred Jahn for his great model!
