Loading a Douglas C-47 Skytrain with Equipment

Title: Loading a Douglas C-47 Skytrain with Equipment
Caption: Equipment to be saved packed and sent off by ox cart.
Identifier: WFC_131
Description: A Douglas C-47 Skytrain sits on the runway at R2S getting cargo loaded into it. In the foreground are the ox carts that have carried the equipment from the base. The plane has the numbers "3" and "315907" written on the tail.
Commentary: The Drill Field at R2S (or Roger Two Sugar on radio) rarely had planes coming or going because it was surrounded by Japanese-controlled territory and therefore too vulnerable.
Creator: Donald Earl Willmott
Date Created: 1945-10-05
Location: The army base R2S near Lichuan (current day Jinzhai, Anhui 金寨县) behind Japanese lines in WWII.
