New Osprey on US C-47/R4D Units

[Christoph]

It would be very interesting to read about the C-47s which operated during the Korean War in the nocturnal "firefly"-role (flare dropping for night interdiction missions). Most of these planes had black painted undersides - btw a very attractive camouflage. In books about the Korean air war these planes were often mentioned but not in a very detailed way. The C-47s were not the only types which performed these missions but nevertheless did a great contribution.
