| Its not a bomber - it's a C-119. C-119 Flying Boxcar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia You sure about the date? The C-119 wasn't around in 45'

| Thanks for the quick ID - I am positive about the date - the album has no dates later than 1945. Strange - I can see that the C119 didnt see service until years later. |
