The Curtiss C-46 Commando is a transport aircraft used as a military transport during World War II by the United States Army Air Forces and also the U.S. Navy Marine Corps, which used the designation R5C. The C-46 served a similar role to its counterpart, the Douglas C-47 Skytrain, but was not as extensively produced. At the time of its production, the C-46 was the largest twin-engine aircraft in the world, and was the largest and heaviest twin-engine aircraft to see service in World War II. The C-46 continued in U. S. Air Force service in a secondary role until 1968. However, the C-46 continues in operation as a rugged cargo transport for Arctic and remote locations with its service life extended into the 21st century. This aircraft is displayed at the its new home at the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
