Got this great buy on ebay. The pilot, Joseph W. Johnston, was a "flying sergeant," Class 42-I. After certification, he primarily flew ferrying missions while stateside. Some were to Canada as part of the Lend Lease program. In February 1945, he flew his first mission in the CBI theater. Johnston ultimately racked up over 100 missions over the "Hump."

Johnston flew primarily the C-46 "Commando." Here is one of them. Note the "SOOK" marking on the tail. The unit was for a time based at the Sookerating, India airfield.

I do not see this C-47 listed in the log book, but it is possible it was the one he went over on when sent to CBI.
