USAF Serial: 51-8024
Fairchild C/N: 10767
From Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_C-119_Flying_Boxcar
The Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar (Navy and Marine Corps designation R4Q) was an American military transport aircraft developed from the World War II-era Fairchild C-82 Packet, designed to carry cargo, personnel, litter patients, and mechanized equipment, and to drop cargo and troops by parachute. The first C-119 made its initial flight in November 1947, and by the time production ceased in 1955, more than 1,100 C-119s had been built. Its cargo-hauling ability and unusual twin-boom design earned it the nickname "Flying Boxcar".
The Air Force C-119 and Navy R4Q was initially a redesign of the earlier C-82 Packet, built between 1945 and 1948. The Packet provided service to the Air Force's Tactical Air Command and Military Air Transport Service for nearly nine years during which time its design was found to have several serious problems. All of these were addressed in the C-119.
In contrast to the C-82, the cockpit was moved forward to fit flush with the nose rather than its previous location over the cargo compartment. This resulted in more usable cargo space and larger loads than the C-82 could accommodate. The C-119 also featured more powerful engines, and a wider and stronger airframe. The first C-119 prototype (called the XC-82B) first flew in November 1947, with deliveries of C-119Bs from Fairchild's Hagerstown, Maryland factory beginning in December 1949.
In 1951, Henry J. Kaiser was awarded a contract to assemble additional C-119s at the Kaiser-Frazer automotive factory located in the former B-24 plant at Willow Run Airport in Belleville, Michigan. Initially, the Kaiser-built C-119F differed from the Fairchild aircraft by the use of Wright R-3350-85 Duplex Cyclone engines in place of Fairchild's use of the Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major radial engine. Kaiser built 71 C-119s at Willow Run in 1952 and 1953 (AF Ser. No. 51-8098 to 51-8168) before converting the factory for a planned production of the Chase C-123 that never eventuated. The Kaiser sub-contract was frowned upon by Fairchild, and efforts were made through political channels to stop Kaiser's production, which may have proven successful. Following Kaiser's termination of C-119 production the contract for the C-123 was instead awarded to Fairchild. Most Kaiser-built aircraft were issued to the U.S. Marine Corps as R4Qs, with several later turned over to the South Vietnamese air force in the 1970s.

I took this photo of the Bomber Command Memorial in London's Green Park on a cold winter’s late afternoon in 2016.
This memorial was a long time in the making. In the dark days of 1940 British prime minister Winston Churchill described bombers as "the means of victory", but the comfort of victory in 1945 allowed the country to acquire a conscience and Churchill never even mentioned Bomber Command in his speech at the end of the war. The controversy over the tactics employed by RAF Bomber Command meant that an official memorial to the aircrews was delayed for so many years.
The Bomber Command Memorial was designed by architect Liam O'Connor and was built using Portland stone. Within the memorial are the bronze sculpture by Philip Jackson of a Bomber Command aircrew, seven figures 9 feet tall representing the aircrew of a Bomber Command heavy bomber at the moment when they get off the aircraft and they've dumped all their heavy kit onto the ground. The space is open to the sky with an opening designed to allow light to fall directly onto sculptures of the aircrew, although it was quite dark when I took my photo. The rendering of the sky is a powerful symbol for the memorial.
The roof incorporates sections of aluminium recovered from a Handley Page Halifax III removed from a swamp in 1997. The plane was shot down over Belgium on the night of 12 May 1944, all eight crew being killed. Three members of the crew were still at their stations when the aircraft was excavated. They were buried in Belgium with full military honours alongside the five other members of the crew.
The Bomber Command Memorial commemorates the 55,573 who died while serving in the Bomber Command during the Second World War.
So far as I know the government declined to help funding for the memorial. An appeal was made for £5.6 million to build the memorial, and funding came from donations made by the public, as well as substantial amounts from Lord Ashcroft and businessmen John Caudwell and Richard Desmond. Robin Gibb, the singer, became a key figure behind the appeal, working alongside Jim Dooley to raise funds and have the memorial built. With a lack of forthcoming funds to pay for the projected £700,000 cost of the ceremony, a number of veterans put forward their own money as security for the event, making them liable for the costs if donations did not cover the total. The Ministry of Defence drew criticism for not providing any money, in particular the Defence Secretary, Philip Hammond, who attended the ceremony. In October 2012 it was reported that some of the trustees of the charity set up to fund the construction and opening of the Bomber Command Memorial would be liable for a shortfall of £500,000.
The memorial was dedicated and unveiled on 28 June 2012 by Queen Elizabeth. The ceremony was attended by 6,000 veterans and family members of those killed, and the Avro Lancaster of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight dropped red poppy petals over Green Park.
The first functional Apollo spacecraft launched into space was serial number 009 atop Saturn 1B SA-201. The command module is on display at the Strategic Air Command Museum near Ashland, Nebraska. I used my digital camera placed against the hatch window to acquire the view shown here. This is the only way to get a look inside without of course removing the hatch. CM-009 was restored in the late 1990s after years of outdoor storage at the University of Nebraska. Unfortunately, the restoration resulted in a fiberglass shell being placed around the spacecraft to simulate its pre-flight appearance. The original hatch is stored inside as seen to the right.
