“The largest and heaviest twin-engine aircraft to see service with the Army Air Forces, this transport gained its greatest fame in airlifting supplies over “the Hump” (the Himalaya Mountains) in the China-Burma-India theater in World War II, although it saw action in every theater. The C-46 began its career as a pressurized, 36-passenger airliner with twin rudders, but the Army saw greater utility for the aircraft as a transport.” - Air Force Association
