1. Title: Fairchild XC-82 Packet 43-13202: A Pioneering Military Transport Aircraft. This photograph showcases the Fairchild XC-82 Packet, specifically the aircraft with the serial number 43-13202. The Fairchild XC-82, a military transport plane produced by the Fairchild Aircraft Corporation, was an evolution of the successful C-82 Packet, which was initially designed for commercial use but later adapted for military applications. The XC-82 was a versatile aircraft, capable of carrying various cargo configurations, including troops, medical supplies, and equipment. Its distinctive features include the large cargo door at the rear, which allowed for easy loading and unloading of cargo. The aircraft's twin engines, mounted on the wing leading edge, provided ample power for its mission requirements. This particular XC-82, 43-13202, was one of 1,117 produced between 1945 and 1948. It served in the United States military during the post-World War II era, contributing to various logistical and transportation roles. The aircraft's rugged design and versatility made it an essential asset for military operations, particularly in remote or challenging environments. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of military aviation and the critical role transport aircraft played in shaping the way military forces were able to deploy and support their personnel and equipment. The Fairchild XC-82 Packet, 43-13202, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of aviation engineers during this period.
