Brief Info:

Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar
Fairchild C-119 "Jet-Pack" version, N5216R, operated by
Hawkins and Powers Aviation, Greybull, Wyoming, USA.
(Photo source unknown. Please contact us if you deserve credit.)

History:The C-119 was a redesign of an earlier Fairchild transport design, the C-82 Packet, which was built for the USAAF between 1945 and 1948. While the Packet provided valuable service to the Air Force's Tactical Air Command and Military Air Transport Service for nearly nine years, its design had some limitations, and these were addressed in the newC-119transport.

First, the cockpit was moved into the nose of the airplane from its previous location over the cargo compartment. This resulted in much more usable cargo space and larger loads. The C-119 also featured more powerful engines (Pratt & Whitney R-4360s), a widened fuselage, and a strengthened structure. The first C-119 prototype (actually called theXC-82B) flew in 1947, and deliveries began in December 1949 as theC-119B.

The C-119B saw extensive action in Korea and Vietnam, and many were provided to other nations as part of the Military Assistance Program, including Belgium, Brazil, Ethiopia, India, Italy, Nationalist China, and South Vietnam. The type was also used by the Royal Canadian Air Force, and by the US Marine Corps under the designationsR4Q-1andR4Q-2.

It was in Vietnam that the lowly troop-carrying C-119 took on various tactical, offensive roles which its designers never could have foreseen. In itsAC-119G "Shadow"variant, it was fitted with four six-barrel 7.62-mm miniguns, armor plating, flare-launchers, and night-capable infrared equipment. Now a potent weapon, the C-119 was made even more so by the introduction of theAC-119K "Stinger,"which featured the addition of two 20-mm cannon, improved avionics, and two underwing-mounted J-85-GE-17 turbojet engines, adding nearly 6,000 lbs. of thrust.

Other major variants included theEC-119J, used for satellite tracking; and theYC-119H Skyvan, with larger wings and tail. Another variant still seen today is the"Jet-Pack"version, which incorporates a 3,400-lb thrust Westinghouse J34 turbojet engine in a nacelle above the fuselage. In a reversal of the normal course of events when airplanes are improved and modified, most variants after the C-119B incorporated lower-powered Wright R-3350 Cyclone engines.

After its retirement from active duty, many C-119s soldiered on in the US Air National Guard until the mid-1970s, and until recently they were still in use by the Taiwanese Air Force. In recent years, several civilian-operated C-119s have found work as firebombers in the northwest United States, and a few have even begun making appearances at warbird airshows.
