EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic Fairchild C-119F Flying Boxcar, specifically United States Air Force (USAF) serial number 51-2702 (msn 10691), during an air display in the United Kingdom. The image captures the moment before or during its delivery to the Belgian Air Force, where it would serve as CP-11 with the radio call sign OT-CAK. After a brief period with the Belgian Air Force, the C-119F was returned to the USAF on September 12, 1955. Subsequently, it was converted into a C-119G by SABENA. Later in its career, the aircraft found a new home with the Royal Norwegian Air Force, where it was known as 12702/BW-H Hiawatha. The C-119F, a vital part of aeronautical transportation history, is seen here in its prime, showcasing its distinctive features and timeless elegance. Circa 1952.
