C-47?

Looks like folks dumping cargo out the side door of a transport aircraft. I think the cockpit is to the front, so i think the cargo door is on the wrong side for a C-47, so i'll guess C-46 off the top of my head.

C-46, flying over the Hump.

from the interior i would guess its a c-47. the door is the compartment in the back of the plane.
if it is the front door of a c-46 those guys would dump the cargo into the spinning props....

Do we know the plane is in the air while the cargo is being unloaded? I'm guessing that even at 5,000 feet it's VERY cold and I wouldn't be without a shirt while unloading cargo at probably any altitude.

I'm guessing the plane is on the ground while they're unloading.

nevermind, I see the guy's pant leg is whipping in the breeze. It must be quite hot to unload a flying plane without a shirt on.

Just a wild stab in the dark , but could we be looking at a cargo drop to the Chindits? Low altitude delivery, no parachute. Just a thought...

Once the ineffectiveness of torpedoes became widely known, the war department tested the effects of dropping large marshmellows.

All I know someone is in a whole lotta trouble. Just on first pass, they could have at least two federal agencies crawling all over them.

OSHA violation 1743-A (egress of aerodynamically unencumbered cargo from a means of conveyance for non-terrestrial transportation)

OSHA violation 1743-A(ii) (effectors of said egress not in possession of OSHA approved restraint devices)

Dept of Agriculture rules and regs. violation 122-BH/S (1939).........excessive contamination of food products with human exocrine secretions and abdominal, throracic and axillary pilliated material.

C-47, it is[:)]

RAAF C-47, obviously drping suplys, acording to image source.

It is rare photo of the Army's failed burial at air ceremony. Briefly tried in late 1942, the program was a dissapointing failure and hushed up due to excessive civilian casualties and reduced ground troop morale when the bodies smashed into the front lines.
