Fairchild C-82
Packet
The C-82 was primarily used for cargo and troop
transport, but it also was used for paratroop operations and towing
gliders. Its capacity was 41 paratroops or 34 stretchers, and it
had clam-shell rear doors that allowed easy entry of trucks, tanks,
artillery and other bulky cargo.
