I was working at the Oklahoma Air National Guard base at the Tulsa airport. I had to belong to the Guard, but it was a state civil service job. The planes were about my age, 1941 throu 1943. C97, then C124 cargo planes. We had one a week flying supplies into Vietnam. Both planes had the same 4360 P&W engines. The Air Force had turbo prop cargo planes then, but the C124 could hold more bulk. Like fire truck, or 2 Forward Air Controller planes with the wings removed and tied to the fuselage. One facing each way.
