Curtiss C-46 Commando

Still active in remote locations like the Artic, the C-46 Commando was a military transport/cargo aircraft used most heavily during the mid-1940s. The C-46 was one of the first military aircraft to include pressurized cabins, a novelty at the time. Other aircraft of the same era were the DC-4 and Boeing Stratoliner.

It was used heavily as a paratroop drop plane but as the conflcit ended and many C-46s were lost during drops, it was pulled from that duty. The C-46 doesn’t have a spotless military record by any means, and many inside the armed forces couldn’t stand it.
