Navy R5C-1 Army C-46 Curtiss "Commando" - World War II USA transport plane
Original aeroplane recognition poster (1942)
63x47cm
A particularly unusual style of aeroplane identification poster, owing to the very arty images. Most such posters rely on very plain silhouettes, this series - and we have many in this series - have a much more arty approach to the task with shading and an interesting angle view.
The Curtiss C-46 Commando is a twin-engine transport aircraft derived from the Curtiss CW-20 pressurised high-altitude airliner design. It was used as a military transport during World War II by the United States Army Air Forces and also the U.S. Navy/Marine Corps. The C-46 served in a similar role to its Douglas-built counterpart, the C-47 Skytrain (the Skytrain poster from the same series is also available in our storefront).
Most famous for its operations in the China-Burma-India theater of war and the Far East, the Commando was used to transport desperately needed supplies to troops in China from bases in India, flying over "The Hump" (as the Himalayas were nicknamed by Allied airmen). A variety of transports had been employed in the campaign, but only the C-46 was able to handle the wide range of adverse conditions encountered by the USAAF.
