Title

A giant transport of the U.S. Far East Air Forces Combat Cargo Command roars in for a landing at an advanced airfield somewhere in Korea

Description

Scope and content: A giant transport of the U.S. Far East Air Forces Combat Cargo Command roars in for a landing at an advanced airfield somewhere in Korea. This plane carries a load of seven and a half tons -- 15,000 pounds. It has just returned from dropping critically needed supplies to outnumbered American troops on the battle lines. The rear doors wre taken off the transport prior to the mission in order that the supplies could be rapidly dropped within a small area. This plane is the famous C-119 Flying Boxcar, proven and tested in the Korean conflict with an enviable record that will be difficult to equal.

Date

circa 1 February 1951
