BUFFALO, N.

Two giant, multi-engined transport planes, financed by members of the Indianapolis Athletic club through their purchase of $403,000 in war bonds, will soon land at Stout field- for the I troop carrier command. The planes, a Douglas Skytrain (C-47) and a Douglas Skytrooper (C-53) .are the only types used by the. ITCC, and were described recently by a war correspondent as the “only unarmed combat airplanes' in’ the world.” Earmarked at the giant Douglas plant in Oklahoma City as Indac I and Indac II, the planes soon will arrive at Stout field, headquarters of the. ITCC, where they will be christened at special ceremonies with members of the. athletic club who bought bonds as guests of honor.

Pilots ‘with only a year of flying experience are “masters of these aerial workhorses on heavily loaded cargo flights ‘across the: treacherous Himalayas.

It was the C-47 that carried 3000 air-borne infantrymen - across- the shark-infested waters of the Coral sea to save Port Moresby during the critical days’ of the New ‘Guinea campaign, and more than 16,000 separate missions have been completed by one troop carrier command group in the Southwest Pacific. «

A committee composed of Bow=-|"

Progress of the drive was recorded at the club with dummy planes and various ‘aircraft parts were added as the bond sales equalled the purchase price of individual parts. Allied conquests of North Africa and Sicily have brought the C-47 and C-53 into prominence.
