EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the United States Air Force (USAF) Douglas C-124C-DL Globemaster II with the serial number 51-0142 (MSN 43476), assigned to the 1502 Air Transport Wing at Don Muang Royal Thai Air Force Base in August 1965. The Globemaster II, a versatile military transport aircraft, is marked with the obsolete designation "O-10142." During the 1950s and 1960s, the USAF utilized this designation for older aircraft in their inventory. The image captures the essence of aviation history, as the Globemaster II played a significant role in the transportation of troops, cargo, and medical evacuation during the Cold War era. The aircraft's distinctive silhouette, with its distinctive hump and multiple engines, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. Don Muang Royal Thai Air Force Base served as a critical hub for US military operations in Southeast Asia during the 1960s. The presence of the 1502 Air Transport Wing and its Globemaster II fleet allowed for the rapid deployment of personnel and supplies to various locations in the region. This photograph, from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the history and legacy of the United States Air Force and its role in aviation and military transportation.
