DHC-4 Caribou Transport

The de Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou was a short-takeoff-and-landing transport designed for operating from relatively small or rough airstrips. Its rear loading arrangement made it useful for moving cargo and troops into places less accessible to larger transports. It served several countries and became well known in Vietnam. American Army service initially called it the CV-2 before transfer to Air Force control under the C-7 designation. It became particularly useful in Vietnam, delivering supplies to small airfields. Its rugged transport role differed from the heavier, faster strategic transports serving major paved bases. Its rugged transport role also included operations from isolated locations with limited ground infrastructure.
