EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Fairchild C-119J Flying Boxcar, registration number MM53-8098 / 46-67 (msn 201), of the 46 Brigata Aerea / 98 Gruppo (46th Air Brigade / 98th Group) within the Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare Italiano), circa 1960. The C-119J, a versatile military transport aircraft, is famously known as the "Flying Boxcar" due to its distinctive cargo compartment design. In this image, the aircraft is meticulously parked on a runway, its propellers at the ready. The Italian flag can be seen proudly displayed on the fuselage, a testament to the aircraft's service in the Italian Air Force. The C-119J was a valuable asset to the Italian military, providing essential transportation capabilities during the post-war era. The Fairchild C-119J was a military variant of the C-119 Flying Boxcar, which first flew in 1947. It featured several improvements over its predecessor, including more powerful engines and a longer fuselage. These enhancements made the C-119J an ideal choice for various missions, including troop and cargo transport, medical evacuation, and even aerial spraying. This photograph is part of The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, now available through Mary Evans Prints Online. It offers a unique glimpse into the history of military aviation and the important role that the Fairchild C-119J played in the Italian Air Force during the 1960s.
