Kent Hagerman, (US Air Force Fairchild C-119, the 'Flying Boxcar')
By Kent Hagerman
Located in New York, NY

The design featured the 'twin boom' clearly showing in this etching. Thanks to this feature it was called the Flying Boxcar. About 1100 were built and used until 1955. It was also used by the Chinese Air...
