The C-46 Commando aircraft was dedicated to members of the 1st Air Commando Wing who served with distinction in it during its assignment to Hurlburt Field from 1962 to 1964. It was one of only three aircraft that served in the country's last three wars, World War II, Korea, and Southeast Asia. During the Southeast Asia conflict, it flew for Air America, the U.S.-sponsored airline of the Republic of Vietnam, and the other two aircraft, the A/B 26 and the C-47, are also on display here. The C-46 last flew for the USAF in 1968 while assigned to the Air Force's Southern Command.
