For today's #ThrowbackThursday, the Flying Boxcar! The Fairchild designed C-119's distinctive twin boom layout and box-like cavernous fuselage earned it the name "Flying Boxcar". Its rear-opening clamshell doors permitted fast and efficient handling of bulk loads. The type went through a number of re-designs with increases to the fuselage dimensions, more powerful engines and many other changes. The RCAF took delivery of its first aircraft in 1952.
