First flown in 1944, the C-82 was the first freighter to really take advantage of the uninterrupted cargo hold and ground-level loading made possible by the twin-boom layout. Some of the 220 built served in the 1948 Berlin Airlift, with deliveries of the improved C-119 commencing in 1949 in time for service in the Korean War. Overseas customers for some of the 1100 produced included Belgium, Italy and Taiwan.
