ATC C-47A
« on: January 26, 2014, 10:13:27 AM »
This probably isn't going to be the most popular goon skin in the MA and doesn't have much of a role for scenarios either, but I like doing bare metal.  :D

Towards the end of the war many C-47As were left in bare metal and were used by the USAAF's Air Transport Command to ferry personnel and goods around well behind the front line. This particular aircraft was photographed at Orly Airport in Paris in early 1945.

Looks like a winner to me.  Will this show up shinny in the air like a P38L I wonder?

Love it.  Reminds me of the Goon in John Wayne's "Island in the Sky" movie.  They messed that up with post-war stars and bars but still a great flick.  Haven't read the book yet    Perhaps that should be on my list this year...

I love the skin sir  :salute

but I do have one question the USAF it self was not founded until September 18, 1947 then who can that be part of that unit if it is  USAAF's Air Transport Command?

Do you mean the AAF ferry command?

Thanks guys, glad you like it.

Hornet, the Air Transport Command was formed in June 1942 to coordinate the various military and civilian organisations involved in the ferrying of aircraft and also the air transport of personnel and freight from the US to the various fronts. It was succeeded in 1948 by the Military Air Transport Service. Here's a link if your interested: ATC Wiki

It will come in very handy in the AvA(no enemy icons) for our winter set ups.  We have the winter Russian skin, but now the Allies will have something that blends in without the ol' red star on it.  Thank you Greebo. :salute
