Default Hagerstown Aviation History To Be Auctioned, Museum Working to Save Last Flying Hagerstown-Made Fairchild C-82


I thought the C-119 was the "Flying Boxcar"? Both acft are similar

The C-119 was the replacement C-82. Lou Martin, a former pilot of both
talks about them in his book "Close Encounters with the Pilot's Grim
Reaeper." There is more info on the book at
