What if the Curtiss C-46
Commando, a transport aircraft of World War II fame, had been further developed after the war?
Enter the
Super Commando, an imaginary development of the C-46 with a high wing and a raised tail for rear loading and parachuting.
This image was created using a C-46 profile and a Fairchild C-123
Provider profile as a basis. I took bits and pieces from each and redrew several elements. I then incorporated all the markings and captions, mostly made from genuine company documents.
But why North American? Because the aeroplane division of the Curtiss-Wright company was absorbed by North American Aviation in the early 1960s. The
AC-146K is a 1960s aircraft that could have been used in Viet-Nam for instance. Don't try to find any accuracy or likeliness in the markings. I did not try to make them credible, just to look nice!
