CURTISS C-46 (COMMANDO) TRANSPORT - "CHINA DOLL" #N53594

As quoted from CAF (Camarillo, Calif, USA) website:
http://www.orgsites.com/ca/caf-socal/_pgg1.php3

"This was the first airplane assigned to the Southern California Wing in 1981. A crew from our Wing went to Conroe, Texas to replace both engines on this airplane before it could be flown back to Camarillo. After much restoration, parts replacement and tens of thousands of hours of volunteer work by members, the "China Doll" was put back into A-1 condition and is now the backbone of the So. Ca. Wing's fleet of airplanes. "China Doll" is used frequently as a logistics transport for the Confederate Air Force and participates in many air shows, including the annual airshow at Midland, Texas every year."
