is this military? , it has superchargers.

Hello,

It has to be something with at least 2 engines. Not a B-25, possibly a C-47?

 

PS: I noticed it looks like 4 engine conrtrols. Maybe a C-54 then?

The '2457' on the IP was the radio call number, and the last four digits of the ship's serial number. This was most likely C-54D-1-DC serial number 42-72457, which crashed into the sea about a mile off Kyushu Island, Japan after takeoff from Ashiya AB, en route to Kimpo on September 26th, 1950. Twenty-three of 51 aboard were killed, including 5 of the crew. At that time the aircraft was operated by the 6th TCS, 374th TCG.
