Re: Me-163 being loaded onto USAAF transport plane
1. Lots of C-46s in Europe 44-45, flown by Air Transport Command, Transport Groups and Troop Carrier Groups (used them in the Rhine drop -- big mistake -- and lifted British 1st Airborne Division to Norway 5/45).
2. What appears to be a US hangar in the background suggests a stateside location, as well as the lack of tactical/unit markings/codes on the C-46D. 3. No clue from the C-46 history in: A.B. Eastwood, Curtiss-Wright C-46 Commando, v.2, LAAS, n.d. [1971], n.p. [London], p. 18.
