The aircraft in the picture is not a C-47. It is a C-54 Skymaster, or since these are Marines and a Navy nurse, it is likely designated as a Navy R5D. It is the military medical evacuation version of the Douglas DC4.

You’re right. It’s a Skymaster. The links have been corrected. Thank you for bringing this up.
