Curtiss-Wright C-46 Commando seen in Fantômas se déchaîne .

The Curtiss-Wright C-46 Commando was a transport aircraft originally derived from a commercial high-altitude airliner design. It was instead used as a military transport during World War II by the USAAF as well as the U.S. Navy/Marine Corps under the designation R5C. The C-46 served a similar role as its counterpart, the Douglas C-47 Skytrain, but was not as extensively produced.After World War II, a few surplus C-46 aircraft were briefly used in their original role as passenger airliners, but the glut of surplus C-47s dominated the marketplace with the C-46 soon relegated to primarily cargo duty. Around 2000 C-46 had been produced.
