USA Air Transport Command Douglas C54 Skymaster 49031 16 November 1947 at Mauripur RAF Base, Karachi

This plane is 44-9031, a Douglas C-54 Skymaster of the Air Transport Command, forerunner to what is now the USAF. The plane is marked as "Magic Carpet", but I can't clarify whether that is the name of the plane or in reference to Operation Magic Carpet, the massive repatriation of US military after WW2, mainly conducted by sea but involving the ATC through India.
