Description

U.S. Navy Seaman 1st Class Billy Ikard (left) and Seaman 1st Class Barbara A. Patterson move a battery cart into position next to a Naval Air Transport Service Douglas R5D-1 Skymaster (BuNo 39170) at Naval Air Station Oakland, California (USA), circa mid-1945. Both WAVES were assigned to Naval Air Transport Squadron Four (VR-4).

The R5D-1 39170 (c/n 10323) was the ex-USAAF C-54A s/n 42-72218. It was sold to Pan American Airways as N88932 "Clipper Matchless" in 1947 and served until 1951. After a few more owners, it became "KA-ADJ" with the Katanga rebels, Kongo, in November 1962.
