Curtiss C-46 Commando, tail number 138, flew for the Israeli Air Force (IDF/AF) as part of the small, covertly acquired fleet that helped establish Israel's air capability during the country's 1948 War of Independence. Israel secretly purchased C-46s from the United States, flying them via circuitous routes to evade export restrictions, with the aircraft serving under 106 Squadron, sometimes disguised as a fictitious Panamanian airline called Lineas Aereas de Panama to obscure their military purpose during the desperate early months of the fledgling state's air operations.
Please note: An optional display stand is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
Designed as a twin-engine transport comparable to the Douglas C-47, the C-46 was first flown on March 26th, 1940. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
