Douglas R6D-1Z BUNO 128427 RZ US Navy Framed Lithograph VR-21 CINCPAC 1967-70. Condition is Used.This aircraft is well documented on the interweb with many photos of its Vietnam service. The last photo in this listing is of this aircraft on the tarmac in Pleiku Vietnam. It is not included with the lithograph. Size 17 1/2" X 14 1/2" Frame with 1 1/2" matte
Frame has two splits it it but it still holds the picture and hangs fine. Printed on the bottom of the print - "August 8, 1967 - ...July 3, 1970" I am assuming that the mountain depicted in the scene could be Mt. Fuji. I am not sure if this is a lithograph as it feels like a water color when pulled out of the frame and inspected. Military version of DC-6A. C-118B LIFTMASTER
Some transferred to USAF to increase airflift capacity between USA and Korea. Later returned to Navy and USMC. Survivors in Navy and USMC service redesignated C-118B and VC-118B in 1962. History of BUNO 128427 (MSN 43210) converted as staff transport, fitted with VIP kit for use of Commander in Chief of Pacific Fleet. Redesignated R6D-1Z. Assigned to VR-21, code RZ-427.

The museum has not yet been built and the aircraft has not been restored or displayed. Now derelict and available for sale. Note - there is also information that I have found that this aircraft is actually on display at NAS Cherry Point NC.
