What's that aircraft at the top...Skytrain?
I don't believe I've ever seen those, good find.
Yes, it looks like a C-47 Dakota.

Sarge, I love your avatar! Hill Street was one of my favorite shows! Sgt. Phil Esterhaus, "Let's be careful out there".
The aircraft in the first and second pictures are C46 "Commando" aircraft. Those are C47 "Dakota" is in the third picture. The two pictures of gliders a "Horsa" in the first (Landing), and a "Waco" in the latter (landed).
Yes I see it now, sorry.

Commando...thanks, I knew it's different from the Dakota.
Ah, yes. C-46 Commando, the "plumber's nightmare." They had a problem with fuel leakage collecting in the wing root and exploding. Lots of losses flying the "hump" in Burma.
