Описание: The Curtiss C-46 Commando was a rugged twin-engine cargo aircraft that played a vital role during World War II, particularly in the China-Burma-India theater. Known for flying over “The Hump” to deliver supplies to Allied forces in China, the C-46 could carry more weight and fly higher than other twin-engine transports. Although it earned the nickname “The Flying Coffin” due to its safety issues, the C-46 was indispensable for its reliability in harsh environments. With a powerful engine and spacious cargo hold, it helped the Allies transport troops, supplies, and even paratroopers across vast distances. Post-war, the C-46 continued in service as a cargo aircraft, but it was eventually replaced by the more cost-effective C-47 Skytrain. Despite its limitations, the C-46 Commando’s contributions during World War II cannot be overstated, and today, it continues to prove its durability and versatility in rugged areas around the world. #C46Commando #WWIICargoPlanes #TheFlyingCoffin #AviationHistory #TransportAircraft
