C-119 Flying Box Car History:
The
Fairchild C-119 "Flying Boxcar" (navy designation R4Q) was a US
military transport aircraft developed from the World War II
Fairchild C-82 Packet, designed to carry cargo, personnel, litter
patients and mechanized equipment to drop cargo and parachutes.
In July 1950, four C-119s were sent to FEAF for service tests.
the USAF strategic air command had C-119s. The C-119s also
performed several aerial recoveries of film-return capsules during
the early years of the Corona Spy satellite program.
The first C-119 made its initial flight on November 1947.
By the time production ceased in 1995, more than 1,100 cargos had
already been built.
The C-119 was serviced extensively in Vietnam during 1954.
the C-119s were generally flown in French markings by American CIA
pilots. The C-119 played a major role during the Dien Bien Phu
siege, wherein the C-119 flew into an increasingly heavy fire while
dropping supplies to the besieged French forces.
The C-119 retired from active duty, the C-119 was soldiered on in
the US Navy, Air Force reserve and Air National Guard in the
mid-1970s. But recently, the C-119 was still stationed in the
Taiwanese Air Force. While a number of C-119s were acquired by
companies who were contracted by the USFS and the Bureau of Land
Management, thus to provide airtankers for fighting wildfires.
While many of the C-119s were wounded up in the Museums across the
US.
