Joint Service Open House
C-45 Expeditor
From a sign near the airplane: "Also known as the "Twin Beech" or "Beech 18" because it was the 18th model produced by Beechcraft Corp. This C-45 is restored in colors of a United Kingdom Royal Air Force liaison aircraft. It has black and white stripes used to distinguish Allied aircraft during the June invasion of France to liberate occupied Europe."
