Title A name given to the resource Curtiss C-46 Commando Subject The topic of the resource This is a photo of a Curtiss C-46 Commando transport aircraft on Missamari (FKA Misamari) airfield in Assam. The aircraft carried drums of gasoline to China and then brought tungsten back as ballast. If for some reason there was no tungsten on the return and the pilot braked too hard the aircraft could "nose over" flipping forward onto the nose and also the front of the engines. This photo shows an aircraft clearly undergoing repairs following a nose over. This was one of the many airfields used for flying "the hump" into China from India in the CBI theater.
