    Thank you Colin1. I believe you are correct. This grouping of photographs is what threw me off. A formation of C-119's wouldnt have been in the same period as the other photos.

    Glad I (hopefully) got it right
    not my strong hand - was it Vietnam vintage, or Korea?

    I don't know. Most of the photo grouping is from 1943-1944 Guam, Truk and of the 55th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, Long Range. Doesn't fit.
    Maybe you can help me with the other post of aircraft identification.

    Boxcar was a paratrooping aircraft in the 1950s to early 1960s.
