Douglas C-47 Transport (US Navy Kool Kiwi) (1:48 scale by Franklin Mint B11E178)
US Naval Antarctic Explorer, VX-6 Christchurch, New Zealand, 1967.
As part of Operation Deep Freeze, this mighty snow bird logged countless flight hours ferrying fuel and provisions to explorers stationed in the frozen Antarctic. A tireless workhorse, the legendary transporter survived treacherous weather and conditions that made this one of the most dangerous peacetime missions in history.
