PROVIDER
The C-123 was designed
by Chase Aircraft Corp, initially as a
large assault glider. Two prototype XCG-20 gliders were built,
then converted to powered configuration, one with two R2800
radial engines and one with four J47 jet engines.
The former proved successful
and a large production contract
was ordered by the USAF. For political reasons the contract was
put up for bid as the C-123B and awarded to Fairchild Aircraft.
The aircraft proved rugged
and reliable, and a number of upgrades
were developed over the years involving improved undercarriage
and brakes, auxiliary jet engines, etc. The aircraft was used
extensively in Vietnam, including the controversial "Agent Orange"
defoliation
programme.
