Fairchild C-123 Provider

The C-123 Provider, designed originally as an assault glider aircraft for the United States Air Force by Chase Aircraft, was developed into a powered transport aircraft by the Fairchild Company, and went on to serve most notably with various armed forces in South East Asia. The aircraft itself would also be the testbed for a number of experimental versions designed at improving its Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) capabilities, and was even developed into a bomber that was tested by the USAF.
