Old Photos of ROCAF C-119 (and More)

Taipei Air Station has some photos of ROCAF C-119, taken in 1958 while they were at Tainan AFB. These photos are unique in that they were taken shortly after these C-119 had been delivered to Taiwan. There are also photos of the 1st Fighter Group F-84G and various American aircraft at Tainan AFB. A must see!
