Bu. No. 89484
— "Twin Beech" —
The C-45 was developed from the Beech Model 18 civil transport which first flew on 15 January 1937. The USAAF placed orders for its first aircraft in 1940, acquiring nearly 1300 of the Beech 18s modified for various missions. These included light transport (UC/C-45), trainers (AT-11) for navigation, bombing and gunnery, photo survey (F-2) and a naval version (JRB series). In the early 1950s, 900 surviving USAF AT-11s and C-45s were rebuilt into C-45Hs, with the last aircraft retired in 1963. AT-11s and C-45s served various McChord assigned units between the early 1940s through the early 1960s.| HM Number | HMTHI |
